Given that it's extremely rare to have a single term government in NZ, to be polling behind the opposition not even half way through your term is a dramatic swing in public opinion.
Neither of them has a credible plan to end the 10+ years of housing crisis that New Zealanders have suffered.
House prices were dropping under Labour.
My rent went up under labour.
You are aware that house prices have dropped significantly in the last few years, right? And not by a small amount, either.
Out of the two, it's definitely National that have done the most to lower house prices, Labour made a colossal mess of Kiwibuild then kinda gave up.
Could you please outline how you think National brought down house prices?
I’m genuinely interested in your logic because I would have put it down to the recession, which would have happened regardless of who won the last election.
Bullshit. House prices were dropping under Labour and the trend reversed under National.
Maybe house prices dropped but my rent keeps going up.
The housing crisis is unfortunately a feature not a bug.
New Zealanders are overcapitalized into housing so any real drop will hurt middle-class wealth. This is probably why everyone treats CGT as some crazy idea that will make a party un-electable, rather than a normal tax in most of the OECD.
