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.

It also shows Labour are getting their act together somewhat, in my view. The comments I've seen lately from Hipkins seem to show they know where they went wrong.

Less racial separatism, more helping the working class.
