当《卫报》走访毛加凯基选区时,出现两个主题:对国家党的勉强忠诚,以及对小党派日益增长的支持。这是一个炎热的春日,奥克兰郊区怀亨加的主干道开始热闹起来。建筑工人溜进面包店吃点心,退休者在咖啡馆外喝着咖啡闲聊,一个光脚男子骑着滑板车疾驰而过。

When the Guardian visited the Maungakiekie electorate, two themes emerge: a grudging fealty to the National party and growing support for minor parties It’s a hot spring day in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga, and the main strip is starting to hum with life. Builders slip into a bakery for a snack, retirees chat over coffee outside cafes and a shoeless man zips by on a scooter.

沿着这条购物街几乎看不到新西兰大选即将来临的迹象,但怀亨加及其周边构成毛加凯基选区的邻近郊区,将在新西兰11月7日投票之际受到密切关注。

There are few signs New Zealand’s general election is looming along this shopping strip but Onehunga and neighbouring suburbs that make up the electorate Maungakiekie, will be closely watched when New Zealand heads to the polls on 7 November.

埃勒斯利肉贩大卫·帕森斯计划从国家党转投新西兰第一党,因为温斯顿·彼得斯“对他说了很多有道理的话”,尤其是关于移民和采矿问题。摄影:菲奥娜·古德尔/《卫报》Ellerslie butcher David Parsons plans to switch from National to New Zealand First because Winston Peters ‘speaks a lot of sense’ to him, especially about immigration and mining. Photograph: Fiona Goodall/The Guardian
