Latest poll results suggest a few other electorates might become more 'marginal' too.
A series of assumptions about electoral seats is needed before the party vote figures can be applied to the final make-up of Parliament.

Carol Beaumont, Kelvin Davis, Carmel Sepuloni and Stuart Nash are the highest-profile MPs in trouble, according to the poll.

Labour's only new blood would be the highly placed Andrew Little, and likely electorate wins for David Clark in Dunedin South and Megan Woods in Wigram.
While the picture is grim for Labour, the Green Party looks set to bring in a swag of new MPs.At 12.6 per cent – its highest rating in the poll to date – the party would see 16 MPs elected, up from nine, including nine new faces.
National, with 67 MPs, would have nine more seats, including 14 new faces.

By not engaging *well enough* against neoliberalism, more broadly, the left let down its constituents.

I wonder if there was a deal…
Joyce “We will let you talk to the Prime Minister as long as you push our interests.”,you're clearly talking here about a deal between individuals, rather than something systematic.
