The polling period matters. I'm not sure (I've seen contradictory information) but I think the Roy Morgan poll includes earlier sampling than the Colmar Brunton poll does. Which might mean the trend is down not up. I'm hoping the CB poll is an outlier, but the next polls will be interesting.

I do not want either the "let-us-keep-doing-what-we're-doing-and-if-it's-not-working-for-you-well-it-sucks-to-be-you" party or the "you'll-have-to-ask-Winston" party in government.

There's not a win position for her, pretty much from last week.
It's a pity for her party that Metiria didn't come to that conclusion last week because it would have saved them two MPs and a colossal amount of negative momentum in the media.

I believe somebody once said that before you could change the government you would have to change the opposition. A bit more time to recover would have been nice though.

When it appears that you have cheated the system at the margins, you should be destroyed. But when you cheat the system from the heart of it, you should be promoted. That's the National/ACT economy for you.

Hard News: Metiria's Problem, in reply to izogi,
National seems to have flooded Ohariu with its billboards
It's the only electorate round here where National is likely to win the party vote, so it makes sense

Poverty *is* a green issue because the more you increase the inequalities in the economy the less sustainable it is.
