The Nats are going lower and Luxon is ruling out possible allies.....

I'm happy that opportunity is gaining regularly. Looking very likely that they will be in parliament after the election.

That could be an interesting mix with Labour/Greens

I'd love to see them replace TPM as the third coalition partner. Much more sane.

If (hopefully) opportunity get in, no 3 party coalition will have enough to form a majority.

TPM would still be required, their influence would be bluntened but still be present.

Let's hope Labour's vote share also goes up as well.

It's also possible TPM just don't win any seats as well.

[-] absGeekNZ 4 points 1 month ago

Totally possible. But I doubt they will lose all the Maori seats.

[-] Ilovethebomb 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, most likely they'll keep a few of the Maori electorates. Which is something of a bummer.
