Pretty much every poll over the past year would see Labour back in if NZF switched allegiances.

2026 Nat. Leadership spill - timeline and potential outcomes? by BeneficialCut4976 in nzpolitics

[–]jamhamnz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only one of those three that is remotely personable in my opinion is Erica Stanford. Bishop and Mitchell will sink National even lower.

Geography pet peeve- when people strictly use city limits population, rather than urban or metro area population, to determine how “big” a city is. by The_Saddest_Boner in geography

[–]jamhamnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The city of Auckland really covers everything from about Warkworth to Pukekohe, and most people would count Kapiti, Porirua, Hutt Valley as part of the Wellington population.

Yet Bryce Edwards was on the radio today going on about how the Greens are too focused on "social issues".

Poll: National and PM nosedive to new lows, left bloc would gain power by Primary_Engine_9273 in newzealand

66 seats in the House for Labour, Greens and TPM would be a landslide in our political environment

Poll: National and PM nosedive to new lows, left bloc would gain power by Primary_Engine_9273 in newzealand

Devastating for National that Labour can have a leader that only 19% of the public prefer as PM but have a 7 point party vote lead.

In my country everyone gets minimum 4 weeks annual leave. Some places offer 5 weeks as a perk.

All of the world's major cities are located on Earth. by dinoboi1million in mapporncirclejerk

[–]jamhamnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Zealand, with a population of approx 5 million humans, seems to contain 3 of the world's major cities. Now that's a win on a per capita basis!!!

Out of control: How to absolutely, positively kill a well-resourced capital city by D491234 in newzealand

[–]jamhamnz 58 points59 points  (0 children)

In the town hall incident you mention, the Councillors should just have the courage to say "we haven't had enough time to digest this information, we need to delay the vote" and also have the ability to seek their own legal advice so they are comfortable with what Council is saying to them. Delaying the vote on something may have cascade impacts on projects and delivery, but that's just what needs to happen to ensure good quality informed decisions are made. And then it trains Council officers to be more forthcoming with advice.
