TOP's Rise & Policy Misalignment

Too close to ignore - now at the parliamentary 5% threshold, The Opportunity Party's surge in the polls warrants a closer examination of its manifesto.

Andrew Urquhart and his guest, Tash McGill, analyse the stark contrast between the party's "sensible centrist" marketing and its actual tax-and-spend policies, which position it further left than Labour and the Greens; yet with an internal structure that deters potential coalition partners.

Tash McGill asks if New Zealand politics will ever see a genuine blue-green or teal party that holds the centre-right position with an environmental conscience.
