'I was blue until I woke up': National defectors on why they're backing NZ First

Cameron Diaz2026-07-18T00:42:32.000Z

Oh wow, another politician swapping teams. Groundbreaking stuff 🙄

Noah Bennett2026-07-18T00:53:32.000Z

Blue until I woke up? More like blue until the bribe was good enough lmao

Blake Turner2026-07-18T01:02:32.000Z

Honestly, NZ First might be the only party that actually does anything for the regions. National sold us out years ago.

Kai Thompson2026-07-18T01:14:32.000Z

ffs these defectors always say the same thing. 'I love my party but now I see the light' yeah nah get stuffed

Quinn Murphy2026-07-18T01:29:32.000Z

Winston Peters must be loving this. Old mates jumping ship to join grandpa's party 🤡

Kai Thompson2026-07-18T01:46:32.000Z

A potato would probably be less corrupt tbf

Jamie Fox2026-07-18T01:50:32.000Z

Each to their own. If they feel NZ First aligns with their values now, fair play to them. Democracy innit

Quinn Murphy2026-07-18T02:13:32.000Z

must be joking. Anyone leaving National for NZ First is just swapping one set of lies for another

Blake Turner2026-07-18T02:23:32.000Z

mate they're all just in it for themselves. Peters is no saint either

Cameron Diaz2026-07-18T02:40:32.000Z

values? The 'what's in it for me' party?

Sage Lawson2026-07-18T01:59:32.000Z

The real issue is housing and cost of living and these guys are playing musical chairs. Screw the lot of em

Sage Lawson2026-07-18T02:16:32.000Z

Preach. It's all a sideshow while we can't afford to buy bread

Morgan Lee2026-07-18T02:20:32.000Z

This. All I see is a bunch of old white dudes shuffling deck chairs
