As soon as I read it was the owner of les mills I was expecting a greens donation. Top is far better to see maybe they can break 5%

I am hoping so.
We need a party that will break from the left-right dichotomy of the last election and give us back an MMP system.
Opportunity getting 5-6% gives them 6+ MP's; which should give some power to get us moving in the correct direction again.
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.
