It’s another brilliant day for getting the election vibe as we enter the outskirts of Rangiora to insert our mood probe into the heart of Waimakariri.

At 10am the temperature is rising as the Nissan Leaf glides past tall hedges, pylons, lifestyle blocks, flashy car yards and old geezers on their electric bikes at the south entrance to the town.

Gail Lydiard, from Woodend, is taking care of her daughter’s gift shop in the town centre and normally votes National.

John Key always got her vote, but she finds Judith Collins “nasty” and National currently unimpressive.

“I like Jacinda but I think she just needs to be stronger and I worry about the country's debt,” she says.

One expert said it was hard to find a Canterbury river where at least one indicator was not degrading, but improving quality was a long-term game and people need to keep their eye on the ball.
