Labours List

Based on the previous post of the NBR Poll, Labour's new MPs are:

Wayne Harpur - Winning Invercargill
Shane Jones - List
Maryan Street - List

Sitting MPs to miss out on re-election are Lynne Pillay and John Tamihere.

Also from the poll there is one new Green MP - Catherine Delahunty.

I'm still unable to predict any other parties new MPs as the Party Lists have not yet been publicised.

10 May 05 UPDATE: I think my brain has turned to mush. As Span has rightly pointed out, Lynne Pillay will win Waitakere. I hadn't considered that a current list MP was standing in that seat. My bad. That makes Maryan Street miss out on becoming an MP.

I have also realised that I can predict new electorate MPs for other parties:

For National:

Otago: Jacqui Dean
Hamilton East: David Bennett
Kaikoura: Colin King

For Maori Party:

Tamaki Makarua: Pita Sharples
Waiariki: Te Ururoa Flavell
Te Tai Tonga: Monte Ohia
Te Tai Tokerau: Hone Harawira

It is unlikely that the Maori Party will have any list MPs unless it lifts it's polling to over 4%.

  • Pillay will win in Waitakere though, won't she?
