Allow me to break up my 2023 NZ election graphics with some photos from the 2025 NZ Labour Conference.

There's a real sense of optimism in the party that we can win this year. A good campaign and a vision of hope, and we can take down lightweight Luxon and his Coalition.

Two more graphics today to polish off the lower North Island.

The Taranaki electorate thread

Taranaki-King Country, and Barbara Kuriger is elected for a fourth term. Labour list MP Angela Roberts is out.

The right secures a decisive win on party vote, a swing right of almost 13%

Managed to finish making all of the 2023 election graphics and will post them over the coming days.

Tonight, I'll cover all the Taranaki seats

LAB: 36

GRN: 10
ACT: 7
NZF: 7
TPM: 2

Looking back at my prediction thread. May have got a couple trends wrong, but happy with how I called the council races overall in Christchurch
Thoughts on how Christchurch local elections will play out. Just gut instinct...

Another thread of 2023 election results. This thread is polishing off the South Island electorate seats.
April 20, 2025 at 1:39 AM
Starting to feel Albanese has a good chance of a majority on May 3rd.

A Tony Benn quote comes to mind with the Nats announcing $9b in new defence spending.

'If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.'

What's happening with UK Labour absolutely sickens me. Cowardly Keir Starmer has sold out every principle the party was built on and turned on the very people the party was founded to stand up for.

Starmer, Reeves, Streeting, Kendall, Akehurst. They need to go.

In the midst of polishing off the rest of the South Island electorates for their graphics, but that Talbot Mills poll!

That's a 7.1% swing from National to Labour. Reflected on the electorates, that would be Labour winning seats like Hamilton East and Whanganui, not just Banks P and Mt Roskill
March 15, 2025 at 1:17 AM
Today's 2023 election graphics thread covers the remaining Maori electorate seats.
March 8, 2025 at 3:17 AM
This thread is for the three Green wins in 2023
February 28, 2025 at 9:34 PM
More 2023 election result graphics

This thread is for the three closest Labour held seats

Watching Canadian Tories losing their shit as their landslide evaporates brings a smile to my face.

The unhinged poll denialsm is gold.
