Election 2017

Voting has closed, results are due and comments are now allowed! Will try and update this post with major news.

1922 – 8% counted has it Nat 45.7%, Lab 36.9%, NZF 7.3%, Greens 6%.Early days though.

1931 – seems clear at this stage that National will be the largest party but not get a majority so NZ First likely to hold balance of power. Both NZ First and Greens look safe to clear 5%.

2027 – National still 10% ahead. Maori Party looks like it may get wiped out.

2112 – National now gaining more ground but may be smaller rural booths. Seat projection now Nat 59, Lab 44, NZF 9, Green 7, ACT 1
