The Greens are the quiet movers in the latest poll. 

The latest Newshub-Reid Research poll puts them up 1.9 points to 14.2%, a result which would deliver them 18 MPs. 

Labour was down slightly to 26.5%, National dropped a bit more to 39.1%, and ACT fell to 8.8%. 

New Zealand First would just make it to Parliament on the numbers at 5.2%. 

Green Party Co-Leader James Shaw told Mike Hosking that he's campaigning to be returned to Government. 

He says a lot of people write off the election before voters have their say, but he wants to see where the cards fall and play the hand they're dealt the best he can.
