Made this chart of NZ elections history – I had forgotten how long lived Social Credit was – and how those votes transferred into the shifting array of minor parties.
It probably comes down to the old maxim:
“If you promise to rob Peter to pay Paul, Paul will vote for you every time.”
From today’s Australian (web site)
“The resounding win may enable Mr Key to be the first NZ leader to govern in his own right since proportional voting was introduced in 1996 and it meant his National Party has increased its vote in all three elections he has contested as leader”. But there a many votes uncounted.
Very narrow, 61 won out of 121 total. Labour lost 2 (out of 34) and the Greens 1 (out of 13).
Just noticed some results that to Australian eyes seem curious.
The Labour leader David Cunliffe stands in the electorate of New Lynn and wins it for Labour but the Nationals just outvote Labour in the party list.

In Wellington Central another Labour seat – the Nationals easily top the party list vote.

Lots more interesting quirks to be discovered.

In Australia some voters might not vote the same party line for house and senate but I have not known such a divergence as we see there in Wellington Central.
Look on the bright side. The Labour Party was reduced to a 25% vote quota. Mr Key will be the first NZ leader to govern in his own right since proportional voting started in 1996. The National Party increased its vote in each election he lead. In Australia, that would be a very good result.
NZ Election
The National party got about 47 to 48% of the vote. Center-Right.
The NZ First first party got 8%. Center.
The Conservative party got 4%. Moderately right of center.
The ACT Party got about 0.7%. Well right of center.
The Maori Party got about 1.3 % of the vote. Slightly left of center but part of the Center-right Government.
Add that all up and you get about 60% of the vote basically going to the Center-right. That is a fairly resounding vote of confidence in the Key-led government.
The only vestige of hope the Labour party had was that the centrist “NZ First” party might have been prepared to enter into a 3-way coalition with the Greens and Labour. This was always a relatively remote possibility.
By contrast the Greens and the Labour Party collectively polled about 35%. This is a resounding defeat for the left, rarely ever witnessed in NZ politics. When one considers that a substantial potion of the Labour voters are relatively centrist as well then it looks even worse for the socialists.
The blood-letting is about to start in the Labour ranks, though they will try to keep things behind the curtain. Unfortunately for them the leadership battle is one that they have decided to undertake in a fairly public manner. Popcorn anyone?
Now final results are out – here is the chart with slight adjustments –
it is interesting to see who has benefited from the special votes mostly cast in Australia –
National – NZ First and Conservatives all went backwards –
Internet Mana – Greens and Labour the winners –
See far right hand column which is the percentage of the increase in vote on 4 Oct over the 21 Sep number. So to mark time the “quota” is 14.54%.
Hi Warwick, I’m looking at creating a similar animated bar race chart. The data on the elections website is spread across many pages, would you be able to share the table this graph is made from please?
Did you get my xls file I emailed Greg?
Yes thanks for the file, the animation is done and I’ll record the video for it next, I’ll let you know when it’s ready
Hi here is the animated graph of New Zealand General Election Results 1938-2017, feedback welcome

Interesting animation Greg – a style I have not seen – illustrating a lot of history to watch and recall.
Different perspective from my chart – and I was expecting a voice-over.
I will watch it a again I am sure and will let Kiwi mates know.
