The latest Roy Morgan poll (29 June – 26 Jul 2026) is fascinating;
https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/10281-nz-national-voting-intention-july-2026
Labour and Green numbers are unchanged from where they were in the last Roy Morgan. So one way to interpret it is Winston First and ACT losing votes to National (+1%), and particularly Opportunity, at 8% in this poll! Although we can't really draw any firm conclusions from comparing these 2 snapshots.

"People have also lost the right to cast a special vote for their local MP in the electorate where they normally reside, should they happen on election day to be out of their home electorate – due to being, say, a student temporarily living in another city, or being on holiday, or travelling on business."

I believe we ought to bring back the taxes on wealth that NZ governments - both red and blue - used to have before the corporatist coup of the late 1980s/ early 1990s. Both so that everyone pays roughly the same proportion of their overall income in tax, and so the public purse can afford 21st century infrastructure, and public services at least as good as those Aotearoa had in the 1950s-70.
If you agree, don't vote for any of the NatACT First parties, *or* Labour.

CLuxon has created both a risk for the Opportunity party, by ruling out working with them over their tax policy. But also an ... opportunity.
The risk is being perceived as effectively aligned with the Labour bloc, by people less than fond of that idea. But still perceived claim-jumpers by Labour supporters. One friend I spoke to is convinced that CLuxon is doing "reverse psychology", to lure radical left voters into giving votes to the NatACT bloc.
The opportunity?

Another poll out, this one by Talbot Mills;
https://www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361050346/new-poll-shows-coalition-victory-opportunity-close-upending-it-allOnce again, Opportunity are hovering around the 5% threshold (4.7%). If they get in, and they support a progressive coalition led by Labour, then on these numbers there would be a change of government. But only by about 1%.
So what I want to know is, why are so many kiwis still supporting the vandals pushing counterproductive austerity policy on us all?

"So Labour, needs to grow a pair, because it cannot do small target politics, and try and land the first time the National government has ever gone out in one term."
#DavidCunlife, 2026

Preach. At this point, incrementalism is a bandaid on a hemorrhage. Sir Stammer was the master of the small target, but it hasn't kept him in power.

Ok, people have challenged my suggestion that the Opportunity party might be worth a vote in 2026. Good! I welcome well-argued scrutiny of my ideas, enjoy learning new things, and sometimes even change my mind in response.
The question is, how can we tell if they're as progressive as their policy announcements suggest? Well, what about asking them which of the policies passed by NatACT First they'd insist on reversing, whoever they joined in government?

Apparently support for both NZ legacy parties is at a historical low;
I'm wondering if their continued domination in MMP environments has been sustained by Boomer voters continuing to vote Labour or National come hell or high water. With the Boomers now shuffling off this mortal coil (and a not- insignificant number of GenXers with them), maybe this is changing?

The Opportunity Party have been polling strongly over the last couple of months, and the latest Roy Morgan has them at 6.5%;
https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/10271-nz-national-voting-intention-june-2026
Maybe this really is their year. For anyone out there that wants a NZ government to tax wealth, reform drug laws, and create some kind of UBI/ GMI, but for some reason can't stomach the Greens in their current form, it's definitely an option.

According to Ray Morgan, Opportunity Party polled a 4% in April,
https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/10211-nz-national-voting-intention-april-2026
... and a 6% in May;
https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/10241-nz-national-voting-intention-may-2026
Even the first June result from Taxpayers' Union-Curia - who regularly poll them lower than RM - has them at 3.2%, a rise on their last TU-C result;
https://www.taxpayers.org.nz/pollnztu_june2026
This could be their year to crack 5% in the only poll that really matters, and I'd very much like to see that happen.

Whenever 1 perceived coalition-in-waiting gets a nose ahead of the other in a political poll, over-excited talking heads start making a fuss about what that might mean. But the significance of polling is not about any 1 snapshot and the theoretical seats in Parliament it translates to, but what the polling data tell us over months or years.

Which would you prefer kiwis? Higher rates/ taxes and public debt, or shit flowing into the sea from broken wastewater infrastructure? Pick one.
Over the last few decades, in both Parliamentary and council elections, we've collectively chosen the latter. Come November we really need to ask ourselves if that's really the kind of country we want to live in.
