    I would hazard a guess at 5/10 or higher, if you remove the rural and business owner motivated National voters. In which case it would be a tick for the nats and one for act.

    I am surprised by the number of expats who voted Act too, 6 out of 8 Voted Act and the other two voted Green.I think people are just looking for new ideas and new faces as well as a bit sick of the rhetoric we have been fed.
    My point of view is simply that I do not think that a lot (I said 10% of gun owners as an example) of Acts votes came from gun law specific single issue voters. Mostly people have far broader issues to worry about at the moment. I did not vote Act (I voted Nats) but Im very pleased that Act got in and have these proposed changes in the coalition agreement.

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    I think what has been missed is that ACT only gained one seat from 2020 so it is stretching it somewhat to say that the arms act issue was major in peoples thoughts. Other than Labour all of the other parties gained more than that. The National, ACT and NZ first coalition scraped in by a narrow majority so who knows what will happen in 2026.

    You’re making assumptions again and you know what they say about assumptions….
    You have no idea the reasons why people voted for ACT.
