1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Flurri of poles speaking of LUXM that tell broadly the

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: same story. Whatever the government's trying to convince us of

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: isn't working. In a couple of those poles, they're no longer.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: In fact, the government as the left block, scraped together

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: enough to get back to power. The poles to David

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: ferra Is with us, David morning.

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Good morning.

8
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: The fact we get here differently from these different poles

9
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: and some numbers look ropey, does any of that matter

10
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: or not?

11
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: What may has I think is very close. I mean

12
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: one pole has at sixty sixty, the other sixty one

13
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: fifty nine. But the methods they're seeing is that the

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: lead the government has dissipated. Now there's not totally unusual.

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: And the first term of the Hall and Clark government

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: they had the ones of discontent and I think some

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: really there's economics at play here where people aren't happy

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: about the economy and that's what's showing up in the port.

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: And nor should we be happy about the economy. But

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: is that part of the problem in asking the people

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: the right wrong path? See, I would argue we are

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: on the path, but it will come right right here,

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: right now. It's ugly, but it won't be forever because

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: broadly speaking, these guys kind of know what they're doing.

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: So what does that snapshot and the poll tell us

26
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: that we're just unhappy right now or will be unhappy,

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: or we're unhappy right now but getting better, or we

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: don't know.

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: It's a very instinctive question is the country going the

30
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: right way or the wrong way? And it's a very

31
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: gut one. People don't really think about it, and I

32
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: think it just shows it is more about what's happening

33
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: at the moment. You've got unemployments tacking up because of

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: high interest rates. We had very well, it was not

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: weak economic growth. It was a recession. We've got no

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: end of the deficits inside. And the drop in the

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: polls started in December and that's when all this bad

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: news came out. So I think what you're seeing is

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: people who heard the bad economic news and they're not

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: sure are we going to get out of it. They

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 2: haven't abandoned the government through anger. They're waiting to see

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: would be how I was going.

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: To good good way of putting it. David appreciate it

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,840
