Well on Saturday we go to the polls. Looking like a blowout for Labour. Well they have been open last 12 days. 1.5 million votes cast already.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politica...ercent-while-greens-and-act-both-on-8-percent
Labour 46%
National 31%
ACT 8%
Greens 8%
NZF 3%
You need more than 5% or win an Electorate seat. Only ACT has an electorate seat outside of Labour/National.
Depending on where the votes fall Labour can govern alone on 46-48% eg 5% wasted votes, Greens get 4.8% and exit parliment.
Most likely result. Labour/Greens coalition in a landslide.
Brief breakdowns.
Labour left of center/moderate.
National right of center lurching to the right. Conservative with a small C, neo liberal probably going to be reduce to rural strongholds and rich suburbs.
ACT. Association of Consumers and Taxpayers. Extreme neo liberal/libertarian. Up from 0.5% last election.
Green. Progressive, liberal, further left than Labour. More about social causes than environment. Wants to introduce wealth tax.
NZF. New Zealand First. Old school conservative, last remnants of pre neo lib old school conservative. Current coalition with Labour/Greens. Probably on its way out.
Either way we're gonna have a female leader. Labour has Jacinda Ardern, she's a bit popular.
Economy has taken a back seat to Covid.
