Well Nationals time as Govt. has certainly been devastating for a lot of vulnerable NZers. Basically they allowed population increases to drive an illusory GDP while ignoring the strain this was creating on infrastructure, housing, education, health, environment and public services. All while demonizing those at the bottom using them as scapegoats.

From this the argument is that dirty politics played a role in Nationals success and Slater was definitely a key player. Though to what extent Slater's influence would be difficult to quantify.
