With how close the two blocs are, this is a big shift.

Labour: 32.3 percent, down 3.6 points
National: 36.6 percent, up 1.3 points
ACT: 12.1 percent, up 1.3 points
Greens: 9.6 percent, up 1.5 points
Te Pāti Māori: 2.7 percent, down 0.8 point
NZ First: 4.1 percent, up 1.1 points

TOP is down 0.5% to 1.5%

Also, ardern is still at 3.7% for preferred prime minister somehow, just behind Winston Peters.

I really wish we had a proper progressive party again.

The right bloc just ain't it. Labour is fighting too hard for the centre.

For all the disappointment we have for Labour not being progressive enough, National and Act oppose and want to take in the opposite direction.

The Greens have been where progressive policy is at for 20 years and deserve support imo. What they put up becomes Labour policy within 10 years or so

Pretty much why I've voted for the greens last few times. But they're still missing what Jim Andertons Progressive party was.

By all rights, I should be a staunch Labour Party supporter, they are supposed to be the party of the working class, after all. And their progressive policies around reproductive rights I support, as well as gay marriage etc.

But they've just lost their way in my view.

Labour has done a lot for unions while in office.
