bump, the election is nearly over! the special votes are counted, and the results are final:  national has lost 2 seats from the preliminary result, and labour and the greens picked up one each. a p incredible 47% of people voted before election day, and turnout was up slightly at 79.8%. now we wait for october 12, the date winston peters has set as a deadline for coalition agreements  media coverage has been loving interminable, and it's probably going to get worse

that's been my assumption, yeah. winston has been waiting for the specials to be counted before beginning negotiations. imo this is so he can get more concessions out of national, since they've now only got 2 more seats than labour+greens do. many of nz first's policy positions are actually fairly close to labour's (shamefully, lol) so there's not really a ton he can be seen to gain from them. the only reason he might go with labour is that they'd be a new government – this would be national's fourth term, and they'd almost certainly lose in 2020. also i made another graph

R. Mute posted:this is p messed ya it's hosed up. immigration policy was my red line this election, it got so bad across the board a few months ago that i considered not voting at all. labour campaigned on cutting immigration by 30,000. at one point the greens' policy was to benchmark it at 1% of population (which would have been an effective cut of 40,000) – they later dropped that policy in shame after getting slammed by their members. nz first wants a cut of like 60,000, and probably concentration camps for chinese immigrants. act is a no-borders libertarian party, and as i mentioned earlier the nats have been bringing in lots of precarious labour for their farmer voting base. in the past few years it's become a lot harder to gain residency – similar to what happened in the uk as described here: quote:Under New Labour the number of successfully granted asylum applications halved in the space of two years. In the same time period, the number of temporary work visas doubled – creating a precarious, hyper-exploitable, racialised working class. These workers are the “forgotten forgotten”: the most vulnerable amongst a working class that was never as white as we’d like to imagine it. transport, housing and health infrastructure have been underinvested in for years, and we're now seeing the cracks – and migrants are getting blamed for everything. this happened before jacinda became leader:  i'm terrified at what concessions peters is going to be able to get. his 1996 coalition with national made it harder for refugees to claim asylum, and this was bill english in 2005: quote:Several years ago Ahmed Zaoui entered the country illegally. He should have been put on a plane immediately. Instead, after 3 years of litigation he has become a hero for the left. New Zealand is seen now as a soft touch for other fascists, terrorists, whoever is on the losing side in bad regimes, unwanted at home and unable to get into any other country. gently caress!!!
