Chris FinlaysonHOST
And I always like it when John Major had to scurry out the back of Downing Street because Tony Blair was coming in.
Chris FinlaysonHOST
and there's a rite of passage in the uk that i think is beautiful and it's brutal and it's fast but putting that to one side the good thing is that people are getting out there and voting and it seems the electoral commission may have stuffed up the production of some some voting papers particularly in mount albert it seems i would have thought that they've had enough time to prepare for the general election, they don't have enough ballot papers without, who was it? It was a journalist.
Chris FinlaysonHOST
I think it was Lisa Owen from Radio New Zealand who couldn't cast
Phil GoffHOST

Claire WardGUEST
Well, I retired four years ago.
Claire WardGUEST
And at the time, I actually retired in order to do a te reo class at Ngāpuhi Ora in Mount Albert.
Claire WardGUEST
And I didn't really ever feel as if I'd quite left work yet, in fact.
Claire WardGUEST
And so at the end of that year, I came back to work.
Clare WardGUEST
Well, I retired four years ago and at the time I was...
Clare WardGUEST
I actually retired in order to do a te reo class at Ngāti Ora in Mount Albert and I didn't really ever feel as if I'd quite left work yet, in fact, and so at the end of that year I came back to work and part of the reason was that We just didn't have enough doctors in Hokianga where I'm working.
Clare WardGUEST
So I really wanted the people that I've looked after to have continuity of care, so that was part of my reasoning.
Clare WardGUEST
But the other part was that I do enjoy the work as well, and it's a very rewarding job.
James MulrennanGUEST
So it has made them a bit difficult to classify and pin down.
James MulrennanGUEST
They've got a new leader since the last election, Kwale Wong, who is contesting the seat of Mount Albert in Auckland as an alternative way to try to get above the threshold and qualify for seats.
James MulrennanGUEST
But yeah, over the course of this year, they've lifted from 1-2% in the polls, which has been traditionally what they've got at the last three elections, to first over 5% and now somewhere between 6% and 8%.
James MulrennanGUEST
So whilst it's fairly likely at this point that they will get in, and there's obviously some uncertainty there, the most powerful vote you can cast statistically in New Zealand is the one that tips a party from 4.999 to 5.0%.
Jessica HopkinsCORRESPONDENT

It depends on if you know the area that you're buying into.
Alex MartelliGUEST
So let's say that you lived in Mount Albert and you'd already sold a Mount Albert brick and tile unit and then you were buying a Mount Albert villa and you had a $1.8 million budget.
Alex MartelliGUEST
Chances are you know the market, you know the area, you might miss out on one.
Alex MartelliGUEST

Mike HoskingHOST
Do not answer these questions, by the way, with you winning every seat because it's not going to happen.
Mike HoskingHOST
