Where National did best and worst

In my Patreon today, I look at where National did best and worst in all 72 electorates.

The importance of Auckland is hard to over-state. Nine of the top ten party votes for National were in Auckland seats, and of the 15 seats which saw the largest increase for National, 13 were in Auckland and the two Hamilton seats.

At the other end of the scale National did worse in Wellington Central and Rongotai than it did in Dunedin and Manurewa. Wellington is very hostile to National.
