Is there a reporting bias in New Zealand normally?
Well?
Unless there's a significant Labour reporting bias, it's looking like they're overperforming significantly (as are the Greens).
The only bias I know is that the special and overseas votes (which are generally added after election night) lean Labour.
In addition, Hooton (normally a National hack on Newshub) just said he expects even the election night results to potentially look even better for Labour.
So if anything they could be on track to overperform by even more.
...oh wow. Absolutely NUT results for Jacinda if confirmed.
I mean, she's earned it. Her topnotch leadership through COVID-19 garnered international attention.
