## Resource

The election is just eight weeks away, and with both Labour and National polling below 30%—their lowest combined total in history—the race has become a wild card where minor parties are stepping up to seize the spotlight. Labour’s “small target” strategy is backfiring as economic woes and PM criticism fail to spark momentum, while National’s fiscal discipline promises little excitement. Greens are grabbing headlines with a public supermarket plan, National’s home ownership pitch targets middle voters, and NZ First stirs controversy by restricting superannuation to citizens. With polls stagnant and leadership uncertainty looming, a hung parliament looms large—potentially triggering months of coalition chaos everyone hopes to avoid.
