Six months out from a general election, New Zealand’s politics sits on a knife-edge, with the Labour and National parties splitting the vote evenly in recent polls.
Polling from over the Easter weekend, conducted by Curia, showed Labour and National sitting at 37% each – up one point for Labour, and up two points for National. Their traditional coalition partners were sitting at 7% for left partners the Greens, and 10% for the libertarian rightwing party Act.
