You were right. He came back. Do you think he would go back on his word like he's done in the past? Weird the MSM is kind of framing him as kingmaker if he's so rusted onto the right.
Honestly not likely. I support a lot of their policies, but I just don't see a path for them. It may be defeatist but i don't see how they can win a seat or get over 5% because people don't want to throw away their votes
Oh I definitely agree. MMP has its flaws but definitely allows more variety in parties and ideas. Sadly I can't see any more than the 5 parties we currently have being viable in the coming future. Our system seems to only really support a party for the center left, center right, far left, far right and the Maori party (specifically due to the Maori seats). Any other party seems to be a fad and doesn't seem to have longevity (progressive party, united future and mana being offsprings or proped up from other parties) NZ first breaks this mold just because of how impactful and charismatic Wiston is. But I can't see another similar party appearing
Labour will run a candidate Jan tinetti will be the woman's affair minister I can see a scenario if the right wing voter split three ways New Zealand First National and anti vaccine candidate labour could win narrowly but not likely to happen
I said a rumours is at national and putting up a Rotorua City councillor in the Tauranga by election her name is Tania tapsell I so she could probably help national she is Maori and a woman the only thing I should probably be accused of been a carpetbagger standing in Tauranga
I guess we will just have to wait and see. I think what is likely is nats win, lab second and Winston third if he runs. If he can come second that will really improve his chances for 2023
I disagree with you about Winston joining labour he actually got more policies achieved while he was in government with labour then he would have got with National but I probably bias I am a Labour Party member socially conservative elements in labour not is it social liberal wing

Do you think TOP has a chance of when anything and if so when? Apparently they did well in Dunne's seat
