Election analysis galore

Now we have final results I have done the first of what will be a dozen or so posts on my Patreon analysing the results. I’ll cover at both an area level and an electorate level how each of the main eight parties did in 2023, and how it changed from 2020.

One interesting aspect from my initial post is that the centre right parties (Nat, ACT, NZF) beat the centre left parties (Lab., Greens, TPM) by a huge 19% in Auckland, 17% in provincial seats and 36% in rural seats. However in Wellington the CL beat the CR by an also huge 19%. This reinforces that Wellington is very very different to the rest of New Zealand.
