The Whip for 4 November 2026

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Jacqui van Der Kaay, Guyon Espiner and Marian Hobbs. We talk all about the US midterm elections, where it looks like a blue democrat wave, should Michael laws be removed as a NZ First candidate after sexist comments about a Opportunity party candidate? How does the panel think parliament will end up after the election? And why was it so much about overhangs? And finally are those big fat pens in polling booths hurting democracy?
