       @jamesflukerStop looking at the news media's readings of chicken entrails. They seem to be trying to self-fulfilling prophecy a change of government into happening, maybe to prove that all that public money Labour gave them didn't shake their loyalty to the landlord class.The only poll that matters hasn't happened yet. The only election-related thing worth focusing on is policy, policy, policy!

       @jamesflukerFor example, they read..."Nearly two-thirds of New Zealand voters think the country is going in the wrong direction"... as meaning they think it ought to go in a NatACT direction. It's just as likely they're frustrated with Labour's Nat-lite routine and want to turn left. The truth will be a combination of both. But very little of the new media commentary mentions this.
