imnofox closes his Wellington campaign with one last interview with John Campbell to reflect on the campaign and share his thoughts about what will happen on election night.
Jon: “Good evening, and welcome back to Radio NZ. I’m not usually on at this time, but I stayed in a bit later to have one more interview with imnofox as the campaign draws to an end. How are you tonight?”
imnofox: “Yeah, it’s good to be here- and honestly, it’s good to be sitting down for a bit after a whirlwind of a campaign. Check out these shoes- soles as thin as tissue paper!”
John: “Sounds like you’ve been busy on the campaign trail then! What’s the feeling like as you go door to door?”
imnofox: “Yeah, we’ve been getting very positive feedback, and the polling is reflecting that. Voters are sick of the same old Liberal-National government putting profits before people and before the planet. It’s great to see such enthusiastic responses to our green platform, and our plan to create an Aotearoa worth fighting for.”
John: “What do you expect to see on election night tomorrow?”
imnofox: “Oh look John, the last election showed the accuracy of the polls, and we haven’t had a very tumultuous campaign, so I expect we’ll see pretty similar results tomorrow. I’m pleased to see us grow from a sad 3rd place finish last election to being the largest party by far tomorrow, but it’s definitely unfortunate to see the demise of the Labour Party, which will really make things somewhat tricker the day after.”
John: “You’re alluding to coalitions, what’s your expectation?”
imnofox: “That’s difficult to predict, Reform is a known wildcard, so anything could happen. We saw a poll showing Reform voters were split three ways about what they want, and I think their candidates are split three ways about what they want as well- and there’s only two options. I think we’ve got some good reasons to be optimistic, but I don’t want to take anything for granted.”
John: “What do you think about the Liberal Party’s chances?”
imnofox: “Oh John, it’s clear that some Reform candidates do prefer Liberals, and I’m sure some prefer Greens. I certainly wouldn’t take anything for granted. They’ll have great trouble getting much of their economic and foreign investment policies over the line in a Liberal coalition.”
John: “So what will you be doing on election night?”
imnofox: “I’ll be joining my Wellington Green members and many other Greens at the Backbencher in Wellington, hopefully to celebrate a great night at a classic Wellington pub, right across from what’ll ideally be my new office!”
John: “Do you have any final comments tonight?”
imnofox: “I’ll just end tonight with a few words: the Liberals and the Nats have presided over too many years of of destruction to our social services, to our environment, and to our decent society. There is a vote for better, and it’s a vote for the Greens. So tomorrow, I’d encourage everyone to vote two ticks green- but more importantly, just get out there and exercise your democratic right to vote, because all voices matters.”
John: “Thanks for coming on tonight, and good luck!”
imnofox fell asleep in his chair, and John brought over a blanket
