FFS! David Seymour is a total disgrace. He would sooner sacrifice the country than give up his seat — a decision that makes no difference to ACT but could save the coalition - and New Zealand. In an unbelievably disgusting interview with Duncan, Seymour is now trying to discredit strategic voting. Why? Because internal polling shows Act’s Tamaki seat is going back to National (after James Christmas exposed himself as a woke progressive and a Co-governance fiend). The poll numbers also show that Seymour’s own seat of Epsom is down to roughly half his 2023 margin and is now in play for a Goldsmith win. So all of a sudden Seymour is trying to discredit the overhang strategy and gaslights by saying things like “Oh, I don’t think it works — this has all been overcooked” and “Well, I think National and Labour will both get the same number of electorate seats, so there will be no overhang.” This is so disingenuous of Seymour. David Farrar has just released his forecast, which has National at 37 electorate seats (including Tamaki) and Labour at 25. Anyone with half a brain knows National will win far more electorates than Labour. Seymour then explains how dangerous The Opportunities Party would be in government, but says he could still work with them. This guy would rather have the left in than give up Epsom and Tamaki. It will make no difference to ACT if those seats go to National to help ensure the coalition wins in November — both he and James Christmas will get in on the list regardless. Maurice Williamson comes on to push back against Seymour’s BS analysis, and Ashley Church completely smashes Seymour’s garbage, calling him either thick or insane: “Seymour’s vanity is greater than his recognition of the urgency of the situation New Zealand is in.” This is going to backfire badly on ACT. Voters will be enraged that David Seymour is willing to throw NZ to the dogs needlessly. Seymour needs to pull his head in immediately and signal to Epsom that he doesn’t want their candidate vote. Mark my words, if he doesn’t, and it results in him holding Epsom — a seat he was gifted via strategic voting— and then the centre-right loses the election by one seat, Seymour’s political career will be over and Act will be punished heavily. Watch this, it’s shocking.
