your side is trying to buy the election, penny. i think some media coverage is fine actually
Watch as the left bloc take up significantly more positive media than the right bloc, in the coming days. Watch the language carefully. #mockingbirdmedia
notice how he says largest party (by seats) but doesn’t acknowledge he’s not the most popular (by party votes)
New Zealand has voted, and it looks like an MMP special. On the current count, National is once again the largest party in parliament, but with around 300,000 special votes still to be counted, it’s too close to call.
To every New Zealander who gave National their vote, to our members, volunteers and team, and to the people of Botany for putting your trust in me again: thank you. I’m humbled by your support, and energised by it too.
Elections are a special time when all Kiwis get the chance to exercise their democratic rights - thank you to every single person who took the opportunity to get out and vote.
