Can't believe there's not a thread on this - the biggest election of the week.

So, will Helen Clark lose after her excellent leadership of the past nine years, or are John Key's promises of fucking New Zealand up going to cost him despite his seeming advantage?

Discuss!

It'll be a National/ACT majority.

Great to see ACT in such a position.

Shame about Key hating on Douglas, though.

There isn't a Nationals/ACT majority as yet. They're a tick under 50% with 97.6% of the vote counted (crude popular vote).

They're winning in the seats.

Yes but the fact that NZ first are polling 4.5%ish and aren't going to get any list seats pushes them over the line.

Because of the 5% threshold for representation, a majority can be gained with less than 50%
