Act’s popularity spiking in the Taxpayers Union - Curia poll taken during the Waitangi period, Greens in free fall post Golriz. Interesting momentum building in NZ right now.
The problem with polling is that only those with strong political self interest in this country participate.
Whether your right wing doing quite nicely with spare time on their hands, or far left politically driven animal, basically polls in NZ only engage interest and participation with people who have money.
This is a country that is renowned for its general political inertia and lack of interest.
As the have nots in NZ grow, the likelihood of polling reflecting what happens in election polling shrinks.
I do not see this Govt lasting past this cycle.
Hit me up in three years.
Bottom line the average Kiwi is a politically dumb kient and will vote next cycle based on how hard they found their weekly survival which is why no party in our system will ever dominate.
Polls are porn for those who by definition are disconnected from the masses.
