It's over... the left has won... Watermelon coalition retains its majority.

This election will surely be marked down in history as a landslide victory for the Green-Labour government. They nearly got a clean sweep of the electorates and they managed to retain their majority of seats in parliament, with the liberals on only 4 seats and the newly formed feminist initiative on 2 seats this is shaping up to be the most left-wing parliament ever in New Zealand's history.

The new government wouldn't be without any friends as well, if anything parliament is filled with people who could support this government. Firstly, the government will probably continue its confidence and supply agreement with the Kiwi Party, and could maybe even work with the Feminists or Slater if ever needed.

However it is key that Labour still wants to work with the Green Party for the coalition to succeed. There are rumours of a Republican Spain+ coalition wishing to remove the greens which could deeply harm the Greens ambition, and could boost Labour to a major party if they become PM. So it is important that the Greens keep this government working and concede more policy to Labour.

There is one problem that the Greens and Labour will face since they have swept the electorates. That is they will need to keep the electorates throughout the term. On average we see 2-4 by-elections per term, considering 10 out of 11 seats are held by the coalition they are almost definitely going to have face a by-election this term. With a majority of one, they must make sure they win every seat that goes to a by-election or they will have to work with another party or be completely ousted as government.

All this aside what can we expect this term, well probably the same as before, and well maybe the Greens might submit a environmental bill this time.
