National and ACT spend 99.9% of their time repeating their criticisms of Labour. Everything that comes out of their mouths is about Labour, not about their own policies or what they propose to do to "fix" anything. Labour is not much better in the policy department but at least they are not simply focused on dissing their competition.
At the rate things are going, we may very well find that Labour wins votes by sheer default - because none of them have shown why they deserve our vote. Either that, or it will be the worst voter turnout yet, as people will just throw their hands up and say "nobody to vote for, won't bother voting." I have always voted and that won't change, but if things don't improve soon, in terms of election campaigning/presentation of policy/solutions, voters are going to find themselves in a dilemma.
