Feedback

National: Gunnz and Pacman did some good press work this week, but in a week where you lost government and your most active, there was really no way to go but down for you guys this week. Could also stand to see some improvement in debates, but given this week was pretty quiet in that regard it wasn't your main issue here.

ACT: Was good to see ACT back in droves this week -- given the week your party's had (collapsing a government and forming a new one with the support of strange ideological bedfellows) this could have been worse. But you pretty much dominated across the board, which has kept your head above water, which in and of itself is pretty impressive.

Labour: It was a good week for the left in general in these polls, but especially for Labour. Outside of a strong QT showing, we didn't see much from you, but you're the main beneficiary from the collapse of the government mainly by being the biggest party not associated with it.

Māori: You folks again crushed it this week -- good showing basically everywhere, second only to ACT. The only thing preventing you from rising further was the fact that this was a very stacked week for press, so you lost your advantage there, but in any other week you'd have been the biggest gainers, and crossing 5% in two weeks is quite an achievement. Keep it up!

Socialists: We saw nothing from the Socialists this week, but they're still gaining by virtue of the shitshow of the government collapse. This won't happen again, though -- if you don't get your arses into gear, you risk being entirely eclipsed by Te Pāti Māori.

Feel free to ask me any questions about these poll results if you have any!
