We have so much to be thankful for. As Aotearoa waited for the election special votes results there was no talk of violence in the streets or threatened endless litigation. Our citizens are more tolerant of opposition and more liberal than the citizens of the divided nation misnamed the United States of America. A womanising egotistical, vain, ignorant and self-serving person would never be Prime Minister here.
So —feeling rather proud of ourselves— let us turn to the special votes announced this afternoon.
National's agonies continue with its loss of two more seats, and Labour won three electorates that it lost on election night.
