Dileepa Fonseka: BusinessDesk senior correspondent on Labour and National failing to attract middle voters - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

According to recent political polls, both major parties are struggling to connect with middle voters.

BusinessDesk’s poll of polls shows combined support for National and Labour is at 67 percent, a historic low. 

BusinessDesk senior correspondent Dileepa Fonseka says the changing demographic of voters is creating a fractured political climate.

"That basically makes the centre more meaningless than it has before. Makes it difficult, because once you go with a whole bunch of people without a core centre or shared experience, it's harder for these big, mass-market parties like National and Labour."
