Exactly 24 hours from now we should be getting a good idea of what the new government will look like as the results come in. What kind of results can we expect?
The most recent polls show Labour falling behind. It is unclear if this is simply due to the margin of error, or a swing back to National. Due to the general lack of polling it is difficult to tell what kind of results are most likely.
My current projection is as follows.
53 - National
48 - Labour
9 - New Zealand First
8 - Green
2 - Maori
1 - ACT
121 seats; 1 overhang.
It is likely that National and New Zealand First would form a government in this scenario.
Keep in mind that we could still see a 10 seat variance on either of the top two parties, and it is, in fact, possible for New Zealand First, or the Greens, to take 0 seats due to failing to meet the threshold.
