You could not pay me enough to vote NZ First - and that's even with Winston gone.

I also have no desire to vote for the Māori party as I find race-based politics rehensible, even though they DO have some good ideas.

Meaning any candidate vote in my electorate is pointless.
Similar situation in my electorate but with just Labour and National. The only time I see both of them is in the election week when they are standing at the traffic lights on main intersection, begging for votes. IMHO they are both less useful than the guys with squeegee running around cleaning windscreen of people's cars.
