    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.

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

        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.
