Meh, might go back to bed and wait for the specials to come in and hope for a large swing to the left...
You might be in bed for a while if you're staying there until the specials come in 😆.
A bit sad we added another minor party but there is still no choice in which parties can make government because of the giant overhang (hope they have enough physical seats for everyone!).
Technically Māori and Opportunity could replace NZF but I can't see modern day Māori going into coalition with the right, especially not with such a big Act.
I see the party(s) of 'smaller government' got the votes to have a substantial overhang on the right.
I wonder how many votes Opportunity could have got id Luxon hadn't ruled them out? Or if they are just too left to bleed votes from the Right 3
The left bloc are up two seats from the last election. The right bloc are down one seat since the last election. Opportunities' 7 seats have come from the right bloc, it's just that the right had a decent margin before, and also Act/NZF voters have engineered a bunch of new seats through manipulating the system.
National have 32% of the parliament with 29% of the vote.
