National’s 2017 list
National has released it’s 2017 party list. The list above indicates who will come in at which approximate party vote percentage, if electorate seats do not change.
If National got the same vote as in 2014, and electorates do not change, the new MPs will be:
- Nicola Willis, list
- Agnes Loheni, list
- Paulo Garcia, list
- Matt King, list
- Simeon Brown, Pakuranga
- Andrew Falloon, Rangitata
- Harete Hipango, Whanganui
- Denise Lee, Maungakiekie
- Chris Penk, Helensville
- Erica Stanford, East Coast Bays
- Tim Van de Molen, Waikato
- Lawrence Yule, Tukituki
- TBA, Clutha-Southland
13 new MPs is a decent intake.
The demographic makeup of the likely caucus would be:
- Gender – 34% female, 66% male
- Ethnicity – 76% European, 12% Maori, 8% Asian, 3% Pasifika
- Regions – 40% Northern, 18% Central NI, 18% Canterbury-Westland, 15% Lower NI, 8% Southern
- Age – 20s 2%, 30s 17% 40s 29%, 50s 41% 60s 12%
A reasonably diverse projected caucus. In 2014 only 27% of the caucus was female so an increase to 34% is significant.
