Saint Jacinda’s Holy Majority
Under New Zealand’s peculiar voting system, no party has ever formed government without minority party support.
Under New Zealand’s peculiar voting system, no party has ever formed government without minority party support.
Yet Jacinda Ardern and Labour could do just that. Politics aside, this is an impressive feat:
On the basis of early results, Jacinda Ardern has won a historic victory in the New Zealand election, securing a thumping mandate and possibly a parliamentary majority for Labour's second term.
With 57 per cent of votes counted, Labour has won 49.5 per cent of the vote – on track to be the biggest single-party haul since Labour won in 1938 …
If the results hold, Ms Ardern will be the first leader to have won a majority government since electoral reform in 1996.
