Te Pati giving Labour a doing over in the Maori seats,

 

[Mr Drag]

Looks like my appeal to Northshore hospital to review my cardiology application is down the toilet, mean while my Pakeha neighbor with a lesser complaint was accepted.

I will try stay healthy till the next election, because I refuse to be one of the Maoris who die in NZ for health racism.

Some nice Maori nurses at my hospital

Te Pati giving Labour a doing over in the Maori seats,

Reverses last election where Labour took almost all of the Maori seats.

National Party vote slightly growing as more vote comes in.

 

[Bruce]

Labour got 50% in 2020
National got 25.6% . 2020
My pick is Labour are toast

That’s the problem though, I know other people are doing the same as me. If I knew everyone thinking like me would actually vote TOP then I would do it. Wasted vote definitely isn’t a myth. It’s very real.

It’s a failing in our version of MMP. The five percent threshold isn’t really a democratic way of doing it. To be truly democratic each party would get seats that represent the votes they got.

I voted TOP and agree with everything you said.

 

[Mr Drag]

Only ever voted for another party than Labour twice in my life and this election is one of them with NZ First! Cant stand this woke Labour!

I voted TOP and agree with everything you said.

Why does that not surprise me?

I don't know much about this.. on the surface it seems wrong that these Maori seats can potentially affect the making up of the government even though TPM have quite a low party vote?

Looks like Labour are going to lose a lot of 'talent' out of the party too. Losing electorate seats and party votes.

NZ First are running at 5.9%, I wonder how that is going to go.I would love to see them below 5%. They deserve it.

The trend is - nobody likes lLabour

Thems are the rules, gotta take the good with the bad.

25% still do for some reason. If they just had something they could show as a success they might have had some sort of chance but everything is pretty much going backwards and people want better than that obviously

Not that they have much

 

[Mr Drag]

More Maori leaders of parties than Pakeha this election

They got in on Cindy's goofy smile and the covid PR last time. Heyzeuss knows how well National would have gone with some genuine talent at the top.

Any party could run a candidate in the seats...
