An indicator that all is not well is the rate of business failure and some large ones at that. Luxon said he thinks governing is like running a company. Completely wrong. In a company a dearth of revenue necessitates retrenchment. For a government that is the last thing you do.

Maybe, just maybe, Luxon’s chickens are coming home to roost - we just need the media to point out that they have avian influenza and should be culled

I know it's hard not to but I wouldn't gloat too soon. These basterds have a lot of money and a bought and paid for media

Yup, they have a bountiful war-chest for sure, John.

One thing about media commentators I've noticed; once they have the scent of a wounded, lame government, the pack circles around, waiting everry opportunity to take a bite.

The only thing Luxon hasn't had to contend with is a serious scandal. He got off relatively lightly with that Andrew Bayly fiasco.

Am I gloating? Nah, not yet. But I have a smile and a light spring in my steps...

How are these polls run in terms of numbers . For instance do they poll Eastbourne ( Wgtn) blue then Wainui ( Wgtn) red or is it random ?

Yeah thanks for your generosity in allowing access to your free posts Frank. And good they are. Clear, detailed stuff. You put a good case. Exciting to see the balance shifting. The downside will be the cost to the taxpayer of remediating the terrible changes already made. Have a ‘merry’ Christmas.
