Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Dang that was a bit culturally insensitive. No I didn't vote for Labour nor Nanaia Mahuta. However, congratulations and I hope she does well for New Zealand, and to be fair, I am sure she will.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Well to be fair if you wanted to govern for all NZ there would be a grand coalition not just your left wing parties. Technically by doing this you saying anything right wing we don't care about... And that means your government is not Government to represent all New Zealanders.
