Rodney Hide: Nine seats? Try four

Rawiri Waititi was in fine form arriving at Parliament this morning. "If you look at our five seats plus the four overhangs, that's nine seats we've delivered to making sure this is a one-term government," he said.

Nine seats. It's a neat trick. The Māori Party won five electorates. Four of those five are overhang seats. The four overhangs are four of the five. Count them twice and you get nine.
