A turbulent three weeks in politics has taken another twist, with a new poll showing the Green Party without enough support to get back into Parliament.

Canterbury University political science associate professor Bronwyn Hayward says the amount of focus paid to one poll, taken at a particular point in a campaign, can be damaging to the democratic process.
