once they’ve sorted some of their shit out
Wonder if that's more or less likely with a significant Greens vote?

Gordon Campbell's final column before te election carries on the rugby analogy.
Thanks to the abysmal standard of the refereeing, John Key – the Richie McCaw of New Zealand politics – was allowed to trap the ball and get away with murder. On (a) asset sales, (b) the Epsom tape and (c) the employment (non) effects of raising the minimum wage, the Key government did not release information – including Treasury advice and research paid for by the taxpayer – highly relevant to the main issues of trust and substance in this campaign, and yet no-one penalised them for doing so.

a strong Green vote, with as many Green MPs as possible, may be a powerful foot in the door that prevents National from having the numbers to get asset sales approved
True. Where do people see the Maori Party standing on that now, as the other potential minority partner?

Labour could be France, but the game started at 50-28, and the ref looked the other way for the first half. And has been trying to apply penalties equally, so as not to appear biased.
and one team has managed to convince the other (and the ref) that they're actually playing netball

one vote does far less than how many people you can convince to vote in a particular direction
+1
or even just convince people to vote
