Seven election factors
John Armstrong at the Herald lists the seven factors he thinks will matter in the election:
- John Key’s personal popularity.
- The ‘no-change’ election.
- The alternative.
- The myth of the ‘missing million’ voters.
- The economy, of course.
- The Big Dot-commotion.
- Winston Last. But not least.
I’d put No 5 as very important.
He rates the parties also in terms of campaign readiness:
- National 8/10
- Labour 6/10
- Greens 9/10
- Maori Party 3/10
- ACT 6/10
- Mana/Dotcom 5/10
