Wait a minute... the gap is narrowing, don't give up yet Mr Drag Winston might still be king.

TVNZ had a better interview with the leader of the Maori party.

Cool he shouted my mate from school Charles Hunia who ran against him. Said it is tough to get out there and campaign.

He's my Maori king, long live Winston!

What‘s amazing me is not just the seats like Mt Albert and Mt Roskill most likely going Blue but the Greens picking up two more electoral seats and four more to the Maori Party. When you think that Labour won 65 seats last time and 50% of the party vote to now looking like only having 33 seats and 26% of the party vote, they’ve lost just under 50% of the support they had last election.

People looking for stability and safety with the COVID effect was huge. If Labour had done anything decent in the last 6 years outside of that they may have held on to more of the vote than they have. But everything is going backwards and it doesn't look like they had any real plan to fix any of it.

I was teasing my boys (7,9) when we were heading out to vote. Asked who we would vote for. I said there is this mean guy who will make you school days longer. A mean guy called Winston. Said he's so mean the country votes and then he decides for us.

That threat managed to keep them within the circle at their school gym while I voted. Told them you leave that circle I'll vote for mean Winston.

It looks like Auckland have voted on how they felt about being locked down for so long.

 

[Bruce]

It is quite a turn around. You would think after our first majority government under MMP it would go back to a coalition for the next election and then get voted out. Or they might go through two elections with their number of seats their coalition goes down.

Instead we have gone from a majority to voted out.

It doesn't look like they can form anything with anybody...just yet anyway

I went to Pak N Save and saw a Maori woman calling out a another Maori woman for stealing, She shouted out "Look at that thieving bitch! I could not be prouder!

I think it is normal isn't it that National start fast and Labours percentage increases the later the night goes on.

I remember that being talked about in a previous election.

ACT/National won't need much, TPM might get the invite

It is because the rural seats come in first, less votes to count but the change from election night is usually about 1% either way.

I'd guess Hipkins may have conceded.

They have him on his way to the Labour gathering. Then had Luxon with activity at his house.

I wouldn't be surprised when he called him if they said I'll go in first and talk before you come in as the victor.

Heyzeuss that is really early, they must know more from exit polling, mind you Labour will have no show of forming a government, it is just a matter of who Luxon and ACT invite in with them.

 

[snake77]

Funny seeing all of these people saying how they have voted Labour or National for whatever many years. Treat politics like a sports team.

At least the Warriors have changed their colours a few times.

They vote for clothes.

Be interesting to see what Hipkins says in his speech. His negative attacks clearly didn't work and he didn't look very statesman like in the debates. Will his speech be any different?

What the hell is the moral of that story

I can't dislike Seymour for some reason, even though I don't trust him and have no idea who he's fronting for, he's turned into a very good politician though.

 

[snake77]

Mt Albert now down to 1 vote.

I like the deputy has a cyborg quality to her
