INTRODUCTION

This document shows results for National, Labour, Greens, NZ First, Conservatives, Maori Party, Mana Party
and ACT for the country, by region and area and for each of the 70 electorates. Generally each page has
the electorates ranked in order from best to worst for that particular criterion.
Electorates have been grouped into the five National Party Regions (plus a Maori Region) and also have
been grouped into Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Provincial, and Rural areas so results can be
compared for these groupings.
Parties have also been grouped together for bloc analysis. The following definitions have been used:
R = Right = National + ACT + United Future
C = Centre = Conservatives + Maori Party
L = Left = Labour + Greens + NZ First + Mana (+ Progressive for 2008)
R L = Gap between votes for the right and the left parties
Right parties are those who committed to a National-led Government.
Centre parties are those who said they could support either National or Labour, and were not ruled out be
either.
Left parties are those who generally would not support a National-led Government.
Note different definitions were used in my 2008 analysis, based on the different stances at the time. However
in this document the above definitions have been used for both 2011 and 2008 so that any comparisons are
valid.
Inquiries or requests for further information are welcome.

nd

Please note this is the margin between the National Candidate and either the 2 place getter or the person
who won the seat. In some seats National came third or lower so the margin shown here is not necessarily
the margin the seat was won by that is on another table.
John Key in Helensville has the largest majority at 21,066. In total National won 41 seats and have margins
of over 10,000 in 21 of them and over 5,000 in a further 12. Nationals most marginal seat is Christchurch
Central on 45 votes, followed by Waimakariri and Auckland Central.
There are no National held seats with a majority of between 1,000 and 3,000. So there are 33 quite safe
seats, five reasonably safe seats and three distinctly marginal seats.
In three seats the National candidate was more than 10,000 votes behind the winning candidate. In a total of
11 seats the National candidate was more than 5,000 votes behind the winning candidate.
There are five seats (Waitakere, Wigram, Mana, Epsom and WCT) National lost by less than 3.000 votes.

In this table we compare the Labour electorate vote to the combined party vote for Labour and Greens. This
removes the impact of Green voters who tactically voted for the Labour candidate to get a better idea of
which Labour candidates attracted support beyond the main left party vote.

was followed by Christchurch East and Rimutaka at 128% and 120% respectively.
In only 24 seats did the Labour candidate get more votes than the combined party vote for Labour and
Greens.
The median seat was Pakuranga at 88%.
The lowest ratio was in Epsom at 38% and Tauranga at 55%.

The combination of Conservatives and Maori as centre parties may seem strange but they were the only two
parties saying they could support either National or Labour, and in turn not ruled out by either.
After the Maori seats Rodney is next highest with 6.7% for centre parties, followed by Northland and
Rangitikei.
The median electorate was Palmerston North on 3.5%
The lowest electorates for the centre were Wellington Central and Epsom.
