Winston and others from now...
If nothing goes wrong, the vote of censure on Peters is expected to pass later today, which marks the new low Mr Winston Peters has sunken into.
So the vital question for both major party is, can Winston hang on?
NZ First's poll usually moves between 1 - 3% in last month, which isn't enough to help it to gets back to the partliament.
The Tauranga Electorate looks bad for Winston as well. In Augest he was 20% behind the National rival. I haven't see a recent poll but I won't be surprised to see a wider gap between the two.
However, the new website, iPredict, has a different result. The majority of people think that NZ First will win at least 4%.
But in my opinion, this parliament is the last one that we'll see Peters in it. The poll in Tauranga not only shows that people there have moved on, it is also a nationwide trend.
John Key has made a smart move by distancing himself from Peters. I think Labour should consider to do the same now. Wonder if they ever played that game called "mafia", if your mafia buddy will be definitely vote dead by majority, it's actually better to vote FOR his death to disguise yourself. So instead of live in the fading hope believing that you'll get re-elected, Labour should do the right thing now by stop providing useless protection to Mr Peters.
So a smart move for Labour today would be, give at least half of its vote fore the censure or to let each MP vote for themselves. You need to at least show people that this case was not decided on a political ground.
