Election 2023 results: Inside National's blue wave and Labour's wipeout
Listen now
Description
In a special crossover episode, the hosts of On the Campaign and The Front Page discuss the results of Election 2023. As the polls predicted poll night was a bloodbath for Labour. Their caucus has nearly halved, several key MPs are out and while Chris Hipkins has not resigned yet, it seems like the inevitable outcome.  But for National and Act, it was a case of celebrations. Christopher Luxon is set to be our next Prime Minister, National swung a number of seats their way, and so did Act.   With the two parties holding 61 seats at this stage (with a 62nd likely after the Port Waikato byelection) it does raise the prospect of NZ First being needed, but it doesn't change the fact that Aotearoa is getting a change in government.
