@nprofile1q... This is, I think, the worst possible result in many ways. A weakened National Party vote and a rising NZF vote. ACT appears stable around the 8% mark. It is within the margin of error that these three will form the next government - again. But the minor parties, especially NZF, will be to carve out even more portfolios/policy concessions. Luxon is, as we know, too weak and lacking in political nous, to be able to manage any coalition, let alone one in which his party has only 28% of the popular vote.
