Looks like Labour people are voting strategically, Willow Jean Prime's only on 600 votes. Now if only Labour could've done more of that in the general election...

Interesting to see if the vote swings back more in Osbourne's favour with on-the-day votes.

I understood that the Nats were chasing the advance vote hard, but who knows.

They've counted just over 50% of the votes and Peters' majority has now gone over 2000 votes. He's probably got this.

70% counted and Winston's still well ahead, looks like it's done.

Im pretty pissed at Labour's inability to cooperate with other parties last election. Look at what it's done here. With the new parliamentary arrangements they would've been able to pass Sue Moroney's paid parental leave bill, as well as a bunch of their private members bills.

Hopefully theyll learn from this and there'll be no more Labour candidates losing by 200 votes, or Peter Dunne winning by 700 votes.

Remember that those percentages are of polling places, not votes, counted. 3200 majority and it's nearly done, Key apparently nowhere to be found :mrgw:

Huge swing, incredible relative turnout... I've love to see the internal reactions in National.

And we're done, with a 4012 majority, barring specials, etc.

Publicly Joyce has blamed the "star power" of Winston over the relative unknown that is Osborne.

So what is the likely result of this by-election? I don't know Peters' history as well as other folks seem to, and I have no idea what his actual political leanings are.

Maori Party or Dunne now needed by NACT to pass legislation - a little less RMA reform, but other than that probably business as usual.

The North have elected a bigoted old senile attention seeking gently caress who will do nothing to advance their interests.

Hopefully Little and Key can agree that the NZDF can now use Northland for bombing runs or something useful.

Hope not. If you pay that kind of cash to watch amateurs fight then you deserve a lovely product. Hide behind the charity, there are other and arguably more effective ways to support a charity.

Like just giving someone from Christchurch forty bucks.
