New Zealand Election 2017

[Frodo]

If Labour wins the election, I pray they do so with enough votes and seats such that they don't need Winston Peters (the Kiwi version of Stephen Bannon) as a kingmaker.

Looks as if we will have to wait until October 7 before we get the final results.

I wonder if this is going to cost New Zealand First valuable support in 2020.  I have no doubt National and Labour (and the Greens) are going to remind voters of their attention-whoring come election time.

How about just another election.  I suspect after his antics, New Zealand First won't make the 4% cut off so either it will be a National majority or a Labour-Green government.

Yes, I think National will be favored in the next election if only because their voters will have that 'we wuz robbed' drive that the ruling coalition will not have.
