Thanks - interesting. I'd never heard before about Act (from here in the UK) but I was vaguely familiar with NZ First and always assumed they occupied the populist-conservative position analogous to UKIP/Front National/AfD. Very helpful to hear the wider perspective on where they sit in the NZ party system.

One other (slightly funny) aspect, for some of us older people. The leader of the Act party - David Seymour - is a dead ringer for Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf. As Lister would say - they are both complete knobheads.
