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).
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.
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.
Which is quite disappointing consider the massive investment the future requires. Uni, health, general education and environmental funding just aren't there and we are the ones who will be affected.
Damn, 600k down... nearly 25%
