A 'Trump slump' has lifted the left in Canada and now Australia - what are the lessons for NZ?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

76% : In Australia and New Zealand, polls in mid-2024 showed support for Trump was growing - heading well above 20%.
58% : His strategy failed as soon as Trump rolled out "America First" policies contrary to Canadians' economic interests and national pride.
53% : Denmark's governing Social Democrats have enjoyed a small polling boost, too, since Trump declared he'd like to take Greenland off their hands.
41% : But there were two gamechangers: the Liberals switched leaders from Justin Trudeau to Mark Carney, and Trump caused a national uproar with his aggressive tariffs and his call for Canada to become the 51st US state. Pre-election opinion polls then did a dramatic flip in favour of the Liberals, who went on to win their fourth election in a row.
29% : Ironically, Trump is harming leaders who could have been his allies.
22% : While not the only reason for his electoral demise, Dutton's adoption of themes associated with Trump backfired.
15% : The takeaway for serious right-wing leaders in liberal democracies is clear: let Trump do Trump; his brand is toxic.
