If you look at the cumulative votes graph, you’ll see there are a lot less voters this election. It makes me wonder what the shift would look like if everyone voted (or, what are the key demographics for people who don’t vote).
Younger people usually much less likely to vote, and also tend to vote for the left, especially Greens. So yeah, it would make a huge difference most likely.
They’ve done well, but I think they would really want to be in the 13-15% range. Still, looks like they’ll pick up 2-3 electorates, which would be huge.
Maybe, but I doubt that made much difference to people who were realistically actually going to vote for them. This will likely be their best result ever.
It’s amazing actually, the number of comments I’ve seen online from supposed green party supporters saying they don’t like them having a race quota, don’t support other aspects of their policies etc, but will still vote for them, is incredible.
Having said that, they do have some solid policies.

Greens have done surprisingly well so far though, although largely at Labour’s expense, it seems.

I think co governance and Marama’s outburst really hurt them. Justifiably so.
