127 | Can ACT & NZ First Shake Up the Big Two?

Jimothy returns to give his take on the argument, share his experience working around an election and explain why he questions the push for last-minute enrolment. We also get into strategic voting, overhang seats and his predictions for who makes it into Parliament from the ACT and NZ First lists.

Dom joins earlier for a yarn about small business, the cost of living, immigration and Brian Tamaki’s free speech battle. Can you defend someone’s right to speak without agreeing with everything they say?

Then Peter Rowley joins the conversation with his views on the election, political labels and international protests. We also discuss Treaty settlements, moving the country forward and whether smaller parties can deliver the change voters want.

Plenty of predictions, pushback from the chat and laughs along the way.
