Hipkins live now

 

[Bruce]

he has conceded Labour cannot form a government

As a proud Māori and a teacher, I am gutted with this result. I am an Aucklander too, and hold no grudges for the covid lockdowns. Big picture, I am very grateful to be a Kiwi where we can all have our say.

On the warnings earlier about not posting your vote or talking about your vote before 7pm. One of the things I had about American politics is all of the celebrities that tell everyone who they are voting for or try and get people to vote for a certain way. Encourage people to vote, yes. Try and get them to vote a specific way I'm not a fan of.

Also funny with all of the celebrities that say if a specific person gets elected they will leave the country. They never seem to follow through on that.

Best to keep it private.

Mt Albert now down to 1 vote.

Swing back to Labour now... 140 lead and growing

edit: although just went down to 105

I like the deputy has a cyborg quality to her

She has half a brain though

If anyone is pissed off about lockdowns it should be the South Island. Had no cases yet lockdown.

I really wish NZ was more progressive.

Hipkins and Labour should have been pushing all of these achievements during the campaign.

They spent most of the campaign attacking Nationals policies.

Look at Australia - voting NO today.

NZ would do the same.

Gees, if he had talked like this instead of scaremongering during the debates and campaign they might have got a better result.

National's Melissa Lee's lead in Mt Albert has dropped back. She is only 80 votes ahead of Labour's Helen White now. It's going to go down to the wire.
Special votes usually got to National

And now Helen White is in the lead by over a hundred.

I have just checked the seat chart. National will probably not need Te Pati māori or Winston, and they will get an extra seat because of the bye election coming up.

 

[Inruin]

Looking more and more likely that NZFirst will be needed to form a Government

 

[Bruce]

Hipkins says his partner is Tony???

 

[juju]

National under 40% for the first time tonight - dropping a seat to 50

 

[Inruin]

They will never have Te Pati māori. I think they are going to need Winston once the dust settles

 

[Bruce]

Why?

Tony or Toni?
