The Nats dropped 4.6 points, Labour gained 4.

The numbers are such that if Winston crashes the coalition on DPM handover, plus resurrects the iRex ferry deal that will prove popular and put him in the box seat to be kingmaker for Labour following a snap election. Winston's a sneaky old dog and he's well aware of how best to play his hand to his best advantage. Luxon in contrast is a political numpty who is being played mightily by his co-leaders and who is unlikely to be PM by 2025's end but will be shocked by his sudden redundancy.
Well yes, with any sort of luck Wnston will surely do something along those lines - is it wrong to hope he does, as long as its not too drastic...?
