I’ve just been pointed to this TVNZ webpoll on who is the trustworthiest politician. Out of over 120 MPs your only choices to vote for are Clark, Key, Peters, Anderton, Hide and Dunne. Neither the Greens nor the Maori Party are listed. Maybe this poll is like one of the the preliminary knockout rounds before the final event?
on the trolls and those who are unable to keep on topic
It’s a bit like ‘Don’t mention the War’ , namely ‘Don’t mention those Parties… it could end up compromising the media focus on pre-conceived political issues’

Co-leaders. They couldn’t figure out that finance minister and shadows thereof would make fine #2′s for the other multiply represented parties.
Besides, people might find Cullen the most trustworthy, and then how could the MSM talk about preferred prime minister as if we voted for it or something.

pretty low.. Join me in corrupting the result! vote for Winston, close the browser window, open a new window then under tools (firefox) clear your cookies. Then vote again for Winston. If the current least trusted scores very highly, then people will think again about the result.

Crap – I voted for winston about 20 times, and his 2% didn’t change. Either they are factoring in votes from the same IP address, or tonnes of people have voted. Either way, I’m Boycotting TVNZ, manipulative scum – like prime last sunday night misreporting the poll result on Russel’s performance and on the Greens Questions.

Anyone know anyone who works at TVNZ? better tell them to stop their dodgy rigged poll and start again with a fair one – lets put one Green Mp – i.e. Jeanette against the othe party leaders – incl. one only maori leader. Poll update, Winstone 25% Clark 14%, Key 41% – I think winstone can catch Key – with a little help!

TVNZ needs to get a clue. Cookie tracking doesn’t work, because people flush their cookies.

I think TVNZ ‘getting a clue’ was the point of this post!

wow! after that poll, I can now honestly say ‘I voted for Winston’. Don’t know why I’d want to say that, but you never know…

“The Green Party expects at this year’s election it will double its vote to somewhere around 10 per cent. It believes that as resource shortages and crises begin to bite the public will turn to the party that has been warning of this all along.
The Greens are sadly deluded.”

this is an interesting take on how polling needs to change..
..on how land-line only polling gives a distorted/incorrect/questionable result..

Are you sure Winston is so much less trustworthy than the others? They are all pretty dodgy to me. The only difference is that Winston got caught.

It’s now up to 66% Winston – I think this tells you that next to nobody reads the TVNZ news website. Worry about polls on the herald and stuff. Ignore the wannabee news websites.
