Everyone thought Winnie was going to go with Labour back in '96 and he used it as leverage when negotiating with National.

Sevens seats. It's not amazing but it's a lot better than zero and considering the last six months it is acc-ept-a-ble. :toot:

If the Greens get even half a percent off National in the specials then they gain a seat from them. That'd put Lab/Green at 54 seats to National's 57. Close a.f.

Further to this, if Labour gain half a percent at NZF's expense then they gain a seat from National too.

It's wishful thinking, but not beyond the pale.

He knows how that works. He knows he is going to get his 1/2 wishes and Labour/Greens are going to be good for it and knows Jacinda can be trusted and be truthful because that is who she is.

Hoskings is doing his best to reach for that NZF-Nat government.

Oh, Bills on, he is so going to gloat.

for anyone like me wanting to vainly hold onto hope, here's what happened last time after specials were counted

TL;DR if the same thing happens this time the Greens and Lab both gain a seat and National lose 2 seats. So 54 to National's 56.

This country loving sucks, and middle New Zealand can eat my entire loving rear end hole.

Imagine how great the world feels when you realise that you can just lie to people, or tell them that the reason their paycheques are tight, or that they can't afford a home, is because there are people poorer than them, and those people are the enemy. You must feel like loving Neo at the end of The Matrix

Imagine how freeing it would be to just be able to throw other human beings under the world's biggest metaphorical bus and feel nothing except how amazing it is that you're going to earn more money next year.

I wish I'd just gone to business school and never bothered to consider the long term effects of empathy poisoning

If there's one takeaway it's the shortcomings of our current implementation of MMP.

Seymour and Morgan: both objectionable twats with tiny groups of adherents, but only one of their voices is in parliament and it's the guy with 0.5% of the vote, and that by dint of a bunch of rich pricks living in close proximity to each other.

STV all the way
