weren't Labour going to get rid of that silly coat-tailing rule? Seems much better for proportionality if they ditch it and lower the threshold a bit to 4 or 3 percent.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/07/newshub-reid-research-poll-voters-want-minor-parties-in-parliament.html

fwiw voters (including Labour voters) are still far more keen on a continued coalition/minority government than a majority Labour government (remarkable how quickly the majoritarian mindset created by FPTP has inverted); although it  many voters aren't presently taking the bait on offer from the minors. I imagine a competent Green campaign could raise them closer to their ceiling, as they offer guaranteed support for Jacinda while not actually voting Labour. Aside from them, Maori-Mana still exist (well the latter is a paper organization now, but Hone is supporting the Maori Party candidates) but from what I can't tell they aren't exactly doing much, given Jacinda has not walked into any of the old traps.

also I really should note that Winston Peters and ACT's leader are extremely dignified politicians, who would never call each other cucks:

Quote
"Peters himself will soon be retired and will require a care worker to help him get dressed and go for a walk. He'll discover that such facilities can't function without migrant workers," Seymour tweeted.

Peters fired back, promising if he and Seymour ever got in the ring, he'd put him in an ambulance with a single punch. He followed that up the next day by calling Seymour a "political cuckold".
