I've uploaded the full Opportunity Party (formerly TOP) 2026 party list to The Progress Report, so you can see who they will get into Parliament should they cross the 5% threshold or win an electorate. Explore for yourself with my MMP Calculator here: theprogressreport.co.nz/mmp-calculat... #nzpol

In doing so I noticed a few things. Firstly, they've got two electorate candidates who are not on their party list for some reason. They are Simon DellaBarca (Whangārei) and Cindie Uddstrom (West Coast-Tasman).

They've also dropped two candidates entirely: Kent Duston (Epsom) and Mathew Phillips (Taieri). I hope neither are for any unfortunate personal circumstances.
