Well...I suppose the news can't always be bad, can it...
And the words "ACT was the biggest loser" do have certain lovely ring to them. Long may it continue.

[b]"The Green Party has surged by 3.3 points in the latest Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll, scoring 14.6 per cent - a very high poll rating for the party.[/b]
The party’s friends on the left, Te Pāti Māori, have also enjoyed a good bump, rising 2.1 points to 4.6 per cent, in what was generally a good poll for the left wing parties. Labour was also up, but only by 0.4 points to 25.7 per cent.
Act was the biggest loser on the right, falling 2.8 points to 7.2 per cent, NZ First fell 1.1 point to 6.3 per cent. National was also down, but by just 0.3 points to 37.1 per cent.
The results would give the coalition 64 seats, enough to govern, but down six seats from last month’s poll. The centre-left parties would be up three seats to 56 seats."
Is that the sound of pigeons overhead....
