Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Labour/Alliance Have 59 Seats
The victory celebrations have begun. And Winston is back.
But With Winston and Jeanette Fitzsimons now ahead again in the Coromandel (174 ahead) and Tauranga (471 ahead – nearly closed) we have another picture.
On a night of contrasts.
Labour and the Alliance now have 59 seats. They need Peter Dunne or the Greens to form a govt.
MMP is a rollercoaster – but only because it is stupid.
Get rid of
the
threshold.
