> I suspect Labour focus grouped some leftish Nat voters in 2020, and found a bunch of them prepared to say "we'll vote for you so you don't need the greens if you don't do CGT, we don't like their tax ideas"
Probably, but why didn't it work for them in 2023? I suspect it's because the refusal to do CGT was seen as an aberration in an others strong left platform. Not in this campaign. It was weak tea policy (GST off produce? Please) and pandering to the conservative right throughout.
