New polling from 1News-Verian shows a Green surge and the left bloc able to win government - presuming National refuses to work with the Opportunity Party.
The thing Luxon has failed to see, is that a small party like Opportunity does not get to implement all their policies. There’s no way National would go for this policy, it’s a pretty firmly left wing policy. But they can work with Opportunity on other policies. That’s why they have a bunch that cover all their bases.
Yep no way in hell is the smallest minor coalition partner going to get to redesign the tax system, lol
Even if the bigger party in the coalition is Labour instead of National. Tax is just too fundamental - minor parties get a few crumbs, the main party gets the core stuff - finance, health, education.
Still I love how TOP has put UBI on the map, it gives Luxon the willies and makes him behave irrationally which is a win.
