@damianchristie I'm imagining that you weren't actually surprised.

@kiwieric Actually a little bit I guess that’s on me. The amount of twisting required was beyond me. And of course the only fucking question to the Greens this morning was “so, wealth tax?”

@damianchristie Not sure why you tune in. White noise is more informative.

@ProfGemmell I was in a small hotel room and unable to sleep. In that regard it HD the same effect as white noise eventually :) 😴

@damianchristie How much truth do you think there could be for ~5% in the centre right purely voting Labour to avoid dependence on the Greens.

@ben79nz I’m not denying that a possibility around the margins, I just think it’s weird for that to be the main takeaway given the increase in Green vote and hammering of National electorate MPs too.

@damianchristie One thing that seems obvious this morning is that the people who have backed the plethora of RW media/talkback/etc have backed the wrong horse and are fighting over a diminishing market ... let's see who breaks rank first and goes for the larger lefty talkback market

@MoonbaseOtago LW talkback doesn’t seem to work - Radio Live tried it for a bit early on before reverting to Plunket et al. Not enough angry people furious at the Maoris ruining everything or the climate hoax or Taxinda etc. It needs ill-informed prejudice to work 😂

@damianchristie The result was a clear seismic shift to the left and Auckland Central and Waiariki electorate results are further proof of this.

@damianchristie That vegan diet's already affecting Duncan's thinking

@damianchristie It’s like a comedy show... slapstick

@damianchristie They're not very bright - no surprise

@damianchristie "Lost in their own private world, with no place to go but crazy"

@damianchristie Most minor parties would be ecstatic to "fail" lose the Greens did. Chosen not to watch 3 brekkie. If you really get annoyed at Richardson. YouTube home getting cramp while batting.

@damianchristie @MandyHager In the last parliament the Greens had eight seats. Thus far they have ten this time with the distinct possibility of two more from special votes.

@damianchristie a pair of washed up has-beens (that never were much truth be told)

@damianchristie I do think many a Nat voter went red to make sure greens weren’t needed. But with that fact that’s still a bizarre takeaway. But check this out.

@damianchristie @JanRenwick3 There's none so blind as those who will not see

@damianchristie @Btripstheworld WTAF? Are they nuts or just so biased they can't even go there?
