I laughed out loud at this image over at Tumeke this morning, in a post from Bomber. I’m not entirely sure who gets the image credit, but perhaps it is best ascribed to John Key himself, as quoted in the NZ Herald:

Do [New Zealanders] want to put in a National government with a fresh view […]

Peter Dunne will have rightfully been celebrating having now returned his party to where he has wanted it to be for “nine long years” free of the annoying hangers on and ensconced back in the midst of a National-led government. 
He may however be wondering about his decision to reject the Greens so firmly given […]

Here are some of the individual electorate returns from Green campaigns around the country. The top ten electorates for Green votes were:

Wellington Central - 6,657 votes, 20.08%

Auckland Central - 4,341 votes, 15.41%
West Coast-Tasman - 3,279 votes, 10.23%

As I understand the electoral law, I’m not allowed to post new web content tomorrow until the close of polling booths at 7pm. And from 7pm onwards I intend to be at the Green Party Party, not in front of a computer typing.  So this is me signing off for the day.  Expect coverage to […]

And as usual for the Morgan poll it has the overall contest a bit tighter than the other polls too. Right that’s enough of the opinion polls.  I’m ready to vote now in the real one.

For those of you not in Auckland, you may not yet have seen the full page ad that appeared in the Herald this morning. It’s made up of many of the vote for me billboards that people made on our vote for us site over the last few days.  It’s a fascinating insight into what […]

Someone who is feeling a bit disenfranchised that he is too young to vote decided to create a billboard instead, based on some of his own images and some off our website.  And then he sent it to us here.  Thanks mate.

Green party members and supporters have been sending me some of their bright spots today - unsolicited by me incidentally - they must be coordinating themselves or in a cheery mood.  Anyway, here’s a few:
From Hutt South:
Mine happened while delivering Green Party leaflets in Ngaturi Grove, Wainuiomata. It’s a small run-down cul-de-sac on […]

By the looks of the polls John Key might be talking to Rodney Hide about the environment next week. That’s certainly how Hide is positioning himself in the lead up to tomorrow’s vote.
John, you gotta get the country out of this Emissions Trading Scam.
Hide and his party are the only remaining confirmed climate skeptics/deniers on […]

Fairfax Nielson has the Greens up to 8 percent, the Herald Digipoll up to 5.8 percent, TVNZ up to 9 percent, and TV3 also up to 9 percent. Improvements in four out of four ain’t bad.  I don’t know if Roy Morgan is also coming out today.  I assume so. It’s last result was 11.5 […]
