In the new polls released by Newshub, the Greens, although down 1%, still remain the largest party in polling, owing to their merger with the Māori Party. They look set to hold all seats they currently hold. ACT New Zealand is down 0.4%, but still remains comfortably on 6 seats. The Nationals are soaring, up 3 points and looking set to gain a seat, putting them on a total of 5 seats and giving an ACT-National coalition a majority. alpine-‘s Reform Party is down by about 0.2%, but still looks set to gain 1 seat, putting them on 2 seats. Labour, which has been doing badly since the rise of Reform and worse since the accession of former leader /u/fartoomuchpressure as Prime Minister, is down 0.8%, losing 1 seat, putting them on 2 seats. United Future is steady, but far below the threshold at 1.9%. Notably, numerous Māori-turned-Green officials have joined the party, like former Māori Deputy Leader /u/Cenarchos and Māori Party MP /u/JacolManuki. But United Future’s mana is weak, and it looks set to lose its sole parliamentary seat. To the preferred Prime Minister, imnofox of the Greens leads on 28.4%, with the incumbent Prime Minister notably behind, on 27.6%. Reform’s alpine- seems to have drawn support from other parties, currently on 14.6%, below National leader and Te Pōti Māori MP /u/Ninjjadragon. The other Greens co-leader, /u/AnswerMeNow1, makes a showing here, polling at 8.7%. Another signature bad result for Labour’s /u/FelineNibbler, on 6% and a signature worse result for United Future, with the votes being split between /u/Cenarchos and /u/TheOWOTriangle. Hilariously, the incumbent MP and party leader is losing this battle, on 0.8% to /u/Cenarchos’ 0.9%.
