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.

Yeah it's a bit shit that the current result has the right bloc leading by 1.5 seats yet they got 49.9% of the vote...

I don't think this was part of electoral reform recommendations though. How do other countries with similar systems protect against this sort of thing? I'm worried that manipulating the system will become commonplace from here on.

Ah nice, looks like solutions to our problems are already available. Now we just need a government to actually implement any election reform recommendation 🥲
