Labour leads!

[Agathon]

Almost done I think. 90% counted. It usually doesn't go much higher on the night.

What was the turnout.

LABOUR LEADS!!! KISS MY ASS RIGHT WING SCUM!!!!

[Frozzy]

Woohoo! YEAH!!!!!

It is Waikato though... they have a tendancy to bomb the big games.

This is almost better than a Labour landslide.

****ing Winston is on the radio now. That man has the worst diction of any New Zealand politician. I suspect from his tone that he's been at the bottle.

Looks like we might crack 2 million, so 80%-ish

[Agathon]

5,000 votes ahead now...

That's good.

[Frozzy]

Wow... in about 20 minutes we've seen a 10,000 vote swing.

[Agathon]

Winston took public speaking lessons from William Shatner.

[Agathon]

And National has now dipped below 40% of the vote!!!

It must be the Auckland electorates. They are the strongest Labour ridings in the country.

Premature dancing?
Ah screw it.


Greens are up to 5.2%!



You know I suspect that Nationals plan was to win in a landslide victory. I'm not sure if enough other parties actually like them to form a goverment now!

But if labour does form a goverment it might be fairly dysfunctional, depending what riffraff of parties come along.

Yay Greens!
