This blog was dedicated to the monitoring of latest developments in Central, Regional and Local politics from its base in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. The blog was run by a team with unique insights into latest developments. The Hive was not politically aligned, but did support policy that was best for the growth of business and the economy. Given the obvious interest from our readership The Hive from time to time delved into the politics of other countries or regions.

Which Way Are The Polls Trending?
Labour and their friends on the Left should put the bubbly glasses away, the trend is not, as Fairfax was suggesting a couple of weeks ago, going their way. This week's Herald and Morgan polls show a big gap between Labour and National re-emerging. Alarmingly for Labour their lapdog friends in New Zealand First are in real trouble, and so are the Greens. If Queen Bee was a Labour Party back bencher, a Green or (perish the thought) an NZ First MP she would be pretty worried. Expect a turbulent start to 2008.
