How's everyone doing?
I've spent the day on the Meta app, threads. I've seen about 50 posts from people overseas wishing us the best in defeating the CoC
I'm knife edge antsy AF..
I knew it was going to be close.. but as I'm writing this its 37 seats each Nat and Labour.
Green third biggest and it seems OP are in and so they will become the king makers.
I've been particularly anti OP for every election they have been a part of because I think they're BS.
So I guess this will be the election I get to see how much BS they possess.
Terrified.
Binging , watched the last caught up on last debate, loved it when tame and Wong just talked over and ignored the shrill willis.
And the spinoff
Most important thing that I'd never thought of, if the right gets rid of the Maori seats that's a huge dump of mostly leftist voters going back to the main roll.
Are the moari seats keeping the right in power??.
The coalition has a cushion already. Those numbers will fall back but it seems clear that TOP will have to be there to block a RW majority. And they are only just over 5% right now.
