@ClareBear 1.19 million is a lot of New Zealanders not to vote. Even if they've lost hope in the mainstream parties, they could just vote for TOP for fun to get them over the 5% threshold. (Not that I expect to be voting for The Opportunity Party but they've got some interesting ideas and I'd rather see some of their MPs in parliament than certain other minor parties.)

@joncounts @ClareBear I don't think it's just the mainstream parties people are disillusioned with. It's the whole political system. All parties who participate are tainted by that.
