    She is already over 50% - hence Labour will get 64 seats out of 120. The uncounted votes won't make much difference, but final rounding when all counted could add or subtract one seat. .

    Some of these people will have a unique perspective on how the rest of the world is doing on covid compared to us.

    I know but 51% under MMP would be pretty remarkable even if they already have the majority. something to write to the grandkids about.

    If you know they are over 50% why would it be pretty remarkable to see them at 51%? Your posts are strange and certainly devoid of logic.

    Maybe since it would be the highest vote share under MMP..

    There are an estimated 480,000 votes (17 per cent of the total) still to be counted, and they could make slight changes to the election result.
    Special votes are typically more left-leaning votes.
    In 2017, after special votes were counted, National lost two seats, Labour lost one, and the Green Party picked up two. In 2014, National lost two seats, with Greens and Labour picking up one each.
    The same kind of slight changes could happen again this year, but they are unlikely to fundamentally alter the balance of power in Parliament.

    There are eight electorates with a current margin of less than 1000 that could be changed by special votes.

    Greens MP Chloe Swarbrick took out Auckland Central by a slim margin of 492.
    It was also a close race in the Waiariki Māori electorate, with Rawiri Waititi beating Labour's Tāmati Coffey by just 415 votes.
    Other close electorate races that could see changes include Whangārei, with Shane Reti (NAT) taking out the seat by just 162 votes.
    In Maungakiekie, Denise Lee (NAT) managed to take the seat with 580 votes in it.

    28% versus 39% is a material difference. Maybe there will be a boost to kiwisaver contributions. However have they ruled out increasing PIE income PIRs?

    And 28% makes PIE income that much more attractive when marginal rate increases from 33 to 39%. That's why we might see a lift in NZX PIEs, e.g. LPTS.

    Sir Bob has a stash of cash ready for commercial property bargains. There's a hint for LPTs.

    There has been no mention of that.
