So we've got an accident-prone leader on the other side who's plunging in the polls, and she's judged it wrong again. Instead of appealing to her voter base, it's evaporating, and her vote's shrinking instead. Marina Hyde's got a lot better puns than these, but I think New Zealanders essentially get the point. The equivalent of the Republican Party on the same part of the spectrum in New Zealand is, actually, National, and Judith Collins displays many of the temperaments that are criticised over there, and I don't think New Zealanders will want a bar of it.
