That’s about all that can be said for a near disastrous night for the right. Even then it’s ‘more likely’ than certain. If those on the right had taken National and Key’s advice to party vote National, the election would have been lost. We would have awakened on Sunday morning to a four-headed monster on the left and with no way back. Instead, and with good reason, voters on the right basically told them to sod off and went and did the right thing and split their vote. These are the people who deserve thanks for, hopefully, returning the coalition to power.
