Wrong way round. Party vote should have gone to National. Electorate seat is pretty much irrelevant unless you are in Epsom electorate in which cas Act is the one to vote for.

I think I won a bet?
Best news of all - Kim DotGone!!
I think that the main gain from tonight's result is that we have removed the rubbish from the bottom of the pile. Dot Com, Harre, Minto and Hone have been taken out of the equation. David Cunliffe was quite good in his concession speech but I don't think many expect him to last. The question now for Labour is who have they got?
Where oh! where have all the flowers gone? (left posters) carried this ancient topic forward through two elections. "If National Wins" well they did, twice and all the signs are that they could win the next one. The sun is shining outside, Kiwis are returning home in droves, and all is well - except maybe for Auckland? Didn't I read somewhere that the leader of that fair city announced that he was paying his staff a minimum of $18 an hour or more in accordance with his masters policies? Now he seems to have blown out his wages budget by a few million dollars - and he hasn't got a Labour Govt. to bail him out. Now there's an opportunity for Kim Dotcom if ever I saw one.
