Live election updates in the link.

It's also after 7pm election day, voting has closed so it's fair game to speak opinions now.

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.
