I don't think we've ever had such a sharp change in public opinion as we've had over the last decade or so, certainly not in the MMP era.

Labour went from an outright majority to barely 25% of the vote in one term, and now we're set to have our very first single term government in a very long time.

It's enough to give you whiplash.

Given the absolute nightmare they've had recently with candidates embarrassing themselves, I didn't expect to see them doing so well.

I think they will lose a lot of votes to Labour once they start releasing policy though.
