Opportunity Party Surges as Election Tightens | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The race is tighter than ever as polls show the government still leading, but the Opportunity party is surging — potentially securing eight seats and reshaping Parliament. The Prime Minister’s surprise MMP referendum push has rattled coalition partners, with Act and NZ First calling it a power grab and poorly thought-out move. National doubles down on fiscal discipline and low taxes, while Labour dismisses polling dips as noise. With National refusing to work with Opportunity despite their openness to alliances, the real battle may be in the margins — where minor parties could tip the balance before election day.
