I checked the party list. They're gonna lose half their caucus.
Plus side some people they need post election will make it.
Greens are beating Labour in Dunedin North no massive surprise there.
Mt Albert has been labour 39 years. They might lose it that's Helen Clark's and Jacindas old seat.

Shrugs. Not exactly surprised but up to 6 months ago thought they would win. We haven't had a two term government in MMP ever or since 1990.

Hmm hard to say. Recessions technically over. ""It's the economy stupid". Guess who's gonna take credit.
Apparently National they were hoping for 38% resigned to 34%. Currently on 42%.

Labour are clawing back Maori electorate seats from Te Parti Maori. Still lost the South Island (Te Tai Tonga), but gained Northland and Auckland (Tamakau Makaurau). That makes a National government without Winston more likely.
If the party vote cutoff ever gets lowered to 2%, Raf might have a chance in the future. But that's three years away.

They don't really matter. Maybe for overhang and Winnie being in.

Yeah, but at least there's no Winston(!)
Labour just conceded to National.
National actually lost a few seats just now, bringing the Nactional bloc to 62 seats.

Watching it now. Called it when he left.
Judith conceded almost two hours earlier 2020.
Their high numbers were unsustainable but this is a massive collapse in a short time.

TPM is Te Pati Maori, Greens would be next then Labour.
I could see that that just from the numbers, my question is whether there's a likelihood of intra-coalition conflict over stuff like the budget. The junior partners in particular seem like they'd be at odds over economics.

So, I’m voting Democrats, as I think Joe Biden would be a way better candidate than the conservatives.
Wait…
New Zealand?
Probably Green, then Te Pati Māori and or Labour

Greens are popular with the younger types and progressives.
Think they beat Labour here I'll have to wait on final results. My electorates far from typical 60k people 20k of them are students.
TPM has some silly policies not that they'll get to implement them even if they get in government. Junior partners generally gets to pick a major policy (that costs money) that won't get vetoed by senior partner.
