    It’s looking like Blue Chris will win, a disappointing result for Red Chris.

    Serious though, this is a huge shift from last election, almost a 25% drop. And it looks like Winnie will be out in the cold, thankfully.

      It’s the least inspiring election I’ve ever seen. Literally had no idea who was the least worst option stepping into the booth

      If you look at the cumulative votes graph, you’ll see there are a lot less voters this election. It makes me wonder what the shift would look like if everyone voted (or, what are the key demographics for people who don’t vote).

          Greens have done surprisingly well so far though, although largely at Labour’s expense, it seems.

                  It’s amazing actually, the number of comments I’ve seen online from supposed green party supporters saying they don’t like them having a race quota, don’t support other aspects of their policies etc, but will still vote for them, is incredible.

                  Having said that, they do have some solid policies.

          Which is quite disappointing consider the massive investment the future requires. Uni, health, general education and environmental funding just aren’t there and we are the ones who will be affected.

        At this point, I think he’ll be a politician until the day he dies, he’s got nothing else. I don’t see him retiring in the next three years.

        This is his life. He loves it, he’ll die before he gives it up.
