Feedback

National: Your drop here is more being brought back to Earth after a general election where you were overwhelmingly the main party to do much of anything, given this is the first proper parliamentary week. But honestly, you had a pretty good week -- strong debate and QT showing, also dominated legislation. Nice work overall.

ACT: Unlike National, however, your fall here is mainly down to a fairly quiet week -- no press and a fairly poor QT showing will get you that. Room to recover, but just need to see more activity.

Labour: Good to see activity from you this week, with the Railways Bill being read, some good questions being asked at QT, and even some press. More would be ideal, of course, but keep this level of activity up!

Socialists: Had a good showing in both QT and debates this week, which has almost doubled your polling -- could stand to see a bit more press from you though. Why? Well...

Māori: I am a bit shocked that you did this well in a single week, but you crushed it in basically every single sector. Great QT showing, good debates, and you absolutely dominated the press this week. Probably wouldn't expect big increases like this in the future, but keep it up and you'll be cracking 5% by next week.
