Benchmark comparison for this week's Verian poll.
Subpar for National and Labour, very good for ACT.
Technically "bad" for Te Pāti Māori (had to double check that really was 0.1% and not 1%) but largely moot given their reliance on electorate seats.

Very cool and very normal. Utter failure @ElectoralCommNZ with multiple attempts being made to submit uploaded voting papers only to receive this error. Email assistance replies asking for a submission ID when no such ID is provided.
Do you see the problem?

Much past 1993. Mostly similar, but there are edge-case limits present in the current law that take us back about ~80 years.

Odd that the government would abandon all of those positions when asked to account for it in proceedings in the High Court.

If the government wishes to argue that justifies its policy, it will be welcome to try, but it is a little late.

remember, there is no hiring freeze in health
“A brand new intensive care unit at Auckland's Waitākere hospital sits empty, fully equipped, but with no money budgeted to run it yet”

And now Serbia, which has followed Hungary's election shift from a few weeks ago. The test in all cases is what these new governments do next-- what promises can they keep or will "politics as usual" actually change (rather than just the people running things)? We shall see.

What are the odds that Lula's win in the Brazil presidential run-off election today is a portent of things to come in Israel, the US and NZ over the next 10 days? Has the global Right political wave crested? Or is that wishful thinking and its support is more solidly grounded?

This sums it up pretty clearly.
Not valuing people’s right to vote unless they vote for “my side”.
Don’t talk about the importance of democracy.

Pro tip: Don’t declare something to be 100% certaint unless it’s actually certain.
🇧🇷 As this election campaign finally comes to an end, we can say with statistical certainty that Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) will be elected the next president of the Federative Republic of Brazil tomorrow night. Bolsonaro now officially has a 100% chance of victory, compared to Lula's 0%.
(globalelectionsimulator.com) will update its final projections within the coming hours. At this point, the only uncertainty our team has is the exact margin, not the outcome. The absolute range for Flávio Bolsonaro is 50.5% to 56.2%, while Lula's is 43.8% to 49.5%.
Our final projection update will go live in a moment on the website and here shortly after. A banner will note that the projection has updated, so you will know it is official.
