The Electoral Commission last week published a return for a $50,000 donation from Les Mills gym franchise managing director Phillip Mills on January 8 to The Opportunity Party (Top), formerly The Opportunities Party.

Now, if only they can figure out the whole connecting-with-voters problem that TOP seems to have.

Agreed, having great policy is only half the battle.

Communicating how that policy helps you individually as well as New Zealanders collectively, is the other half of the battle.
