    That would leave National without a coaltion partner. No thanks. I'd rather see National with silly old Winston than Labour - greens.

    Possibly FP. But should National get 54-56 seats themselves and neither Green or NZF make 5%, National could Govern on their own. A distant possibility but one that I rather desire !

    I agree that it's desirable, but there is no chance of The Kermits falling below 5%.
    I can see National votes equal to the Taxcinda/Kermit total.

    I suppose the people with no values have to go somewhere.

    There must be an on-line calculator thing somewhere that shows where seats go if parties votes gets wasted by not hitting 5% or getting a MP.

    The votes go into the rubbish bin and aare totally discarded, and that gives a new total of votes cast - which is then allocated according to the % of counted votes.

    They become invalid so in theory they are proportionally split to those that make it to Parliament
