The wasted vote came third in 2008

Thanks to NZ not obtaining initially a seat or more than 5% but obtaining more than 88.000 votes, the wasted voice was larger than the green voice. The wasted voice was third this year - and that 's the first time that it was arranged so much high. More than 6.5% of the voice (137.472) were wasted, and had not been there a threshold of 5% which would be gone down to 1.28% (26.983).

Wasted voted is voice for a part which does not obtain 5% or one electorate sit.

Thus you can see at which point it important is so that a minor part gains an electorate sit and which influence a threshold of 5% A. Since 2000 Juste two parts minor has at least both a seat and more than 5% of the voice in the same election. That 's all.

Interesting NZ the first time more voice in 2008 qu ' in 2002 obtained, where it obtained 4.26% of the voice and four seats - it obtained to 4.21% this year. Also the destiny obtained more into 2005 than kiwi obtained this year. The destiny is now the part of family. The part of family obtained well under half which destiny obtained in 2005.

If I have even more time to make even more numbers I will add to this.
