A vote for new leadership in New Zealand has not translated into widespread confidence that the incoming three-party government will work constructively together, while a growing number of people feel unsure as to whether the country is on the right track, a new Guardian Essential New Zealand poll has found.
The poll tracked just under 1,200 New Zealanders in November after the final election count, which revealed that the centre-right National party would require both the libertarian Act and populist New Zealand First parties to form a government.
