Someone said it on the Internet, it must be true! : P

It wouldn't surprise me if every social media platform kiwis use is being haunted by shills, paid by the same people funding the NatACTs' campaign. For exactly that reason, I didn't believe TOP had made overtures to the Nats until I saw it reported in multiple news media. 

 @58db300d It was from a normally trustworthy, left-leaning account here, but I guess lefties can either get it wrong or deceive. Strangely, I havenʼt seen that account for a while so Iʼll have a look right after I post.

An effective shill will throw plenty of legit stuff into their feed to make the propaganda convincing. As Mary Poppins put it, just a spoonf of sugar... ; )

Campbell's going to stay there anyway, especially since he's a shoe-in, despite Pallett being very good.

He's been working on this for a while, perfect candidate "never had a want for anything", yet honed in on how cost of living was the biggest issue for all the common people.

And I don't think National want another Epson.
