it is in a mmp system mate, infact if you half you 48% I think that's pretty close to what the labour got if you have 48 people for one view and 25 for another isn't the 48 the majority ? |

You too have forgotten the people who didn't vote. Almost as many people didn't vote as those who voted for National. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/.../New_Zealand_general_election... 2011 results had 2,237,464 while http://www.electionresults.govt.nz/partystatus.html 2014 had 2,1026,710 (Not including
specials). National lost 40k which went directly to conservatives. Labour lost
100k only 40k of that went to nz first. Greens lost 30k. Those 90k lost votes
are roughly worth 4%, they would have won with that.
