Live election updates in the link.

It's also after 7pm election day, voting has closed so it's fair game to speak opinions now.

Yeah, I can't understand that - the graphic suggests no one voted for the party but they cleaned up on electorate seats?

That doesn't match the vote count...

    It shows that there is no party list seats to 'top up' to get national up to their party-vote share: because they're actually six electorate seats above their 29% share of the party vote.

    Or to put it a slightly different way: national is over-represented by their 42 electorate seats than their party-vote share.

    42/120 is 35% of seats but they only got 29% of the party vote (so should only have 36 seats).

    TPM also has more seats than their party vote proportion.
