I find him convincing on policy, naive on the question of influence minus a confidence and supply deal, and entirely unconvincing on the question he basically dodged, which is why I should risk wasting a vote on a party that hasn’t shown it can get into parliament. If a vote for the Greens is wasted because they have no real leverage over Labour, and Barnard has basically convinced me there, then why is a vote for TOP not wasted? If it’s just a question of voting my ideals, that leaves me back with the Greens.
Good point on wastage without at least a good poll result in Ilam. Te Pāti Māori have some progressive policies and swing both ways. They are also assured to get back in.
