Final 2017 election results

I’ll do more detailed posts later but the key takeaway is that Labour and Greens have both picked up a seat off National so the balance in Parliament now is:

• Centre Right – National 56 + ACT 1 = 57
• Centre Left – Labour 46 + Greens 8 = 54
• Centre – NZ First 9

You need 61 seats to form a Government. So possible options are:

• National/Labour = 112
• National/NZ First/ACT = 66
• National/NZ First = 65
• National/Greens = 64
• Labour/NZ First/Greens = 63
