Toyota seem incapable of learning anything. The too-big-to-fail mentality is too ingrained now.

Me too today

Do you think it will ever happen?

If I was going to stick my neck out I’d venture that specials will roughly follow the narrative we saw on election night. Nats doing better with early votes but dropping in the last week of the campaign (under increased scrutiny) and on e-day itself.

Not sure about that but I do think TPM will do well out of specials.

Isn’t the whole point about the specials typically favouring the left parties precisely because they don’t mirror the election day swing?

I’m really looking forward to a day of lazy enjoyment of the public holiday that, it turns out, drives National and ACT beyond crazy!
