Photo: NZ HeraldNew Zealand First leader Winston Peters is readying his supporters and dismissing his doubters in announcing his party's return from political hibernation to embark on a "comeback trail". Stating his distaste of polls, Peters couldn't help but mention the "commentator's polls" in recent weeks where pundits hadn't ruled him out of gaining traction with voters. "We are going to be ready more quickly than we've ever been as a political party." The latest Talbot-Mills poll, which has been more favourable to NZ First than other polls, showed the party above 4 per cent. "That combination has, in the past, dealt NZ First a very good hand because NZ First voters vote."
