The recent NZ election polls show that Labour's leadership scandal could potentially change the government. The party is facing criticism over its handling of overseas workers, which has led to a significant number of Kiwi jobs being taken by foreigners. According to data, there are currently 111,000 overseas workers in New Zealand, sparking concerns about job security for local residents.

National's leadership has also come under fire, with some party members calling for leader Christopher Luxon to step down. However, Luxon has survived a recent coup attempt and is still leading the party. The National Party has been criticized for its handling of various issues, including the City Rail Link project, which has seen significant overruns and overspend.

The NZ election polls have shown that Labour's policies on spending are also causing concerns among voters. The party's plan to increase government spending could potentially lead to higher taxes and inflation, according to some economists. However, others argue that the current economic situation requires bold action from the government to address issues such as poverty and inequality.
