National loses 2 electorate seats to Labour, Nelson by 29 votes and Te Atatu by 131 votes. National will probably pick up Port Waikato in the by-election.
Te Pāti Māori picked up two electorate seats from Labour which means that parliament will have a 2 seat overhang, and Nact will require a coalition partner. Tāmaki Makaurau by 4 votes, and Te Tai Tokerau by 517 votes.
Greens got another seat from the percentages.
The number of people casting special votes grew to 603,257 – about 20.9% of all votes, or 1 in 5 voters. The final voter turnout was 78.2%.
While there may be recounts, with the exception of Tāmaki Makaurau, I can’t see them going anywhere. There are a number of reasons to do a recount in Tāmaki Makaurau by the candidate or National because it’d eliminate at least one overhand seat.
But now we’re looking at the coalition phase of the long wait. Time to pull out the popcorn.
