Well there you have it. I rescind all my generosity towards TOP. This 100% confirms they are a Trojan horse, created by RWers to provide a teal party to sap votes from the left. This is the deputy leader, not some backbencher. He wants to vote for Nats. #nzpol www.tickaroo.com/e/GYui53TulW...

I decided to dive into the National party's terrible polling. National have been polling below 32 since the start of the year, except for two outliers at the start of the year. Jenny Shipley rolled Jim Bolger when the party hit 34 in the polls. Come on Luxo, we believe in you! #nzpol

I'm waiting for the moment where Nationals vote collapses so far and Labours vote stays so stagnant and Chris Hipkins stays so adamant that nothing can be better, and he then goes into coalition negotiations with the Nats in a grand coalition so that he can block any progress of good things. #nzpol

I get so annoyed about RW parties not understanding the purpose of foreign aid. It's not an unemployment benefit, the other countries aren't bludgers. This is an investment in other countries to ensure that bad things happening there don't have repurcussions that come here. #nzpol
