Absurd that the Conservatives don't get a seat given that UF & ACT have them (threshold should be 4% IMO) but I don't think you can call winning 50.83% of seats on 48.1% of the popular vote breaking MMP, as no electoral system can ever be exactly accurate given rounding errors produced even by very proportional representation formulas like D'hondt & the natural exponential win bonus of having a very large % lead over the opposition. New Zealanders definitely voted National & thr right & they've got a National government whose deserved majority will be effectively bolstered by the ACT member for Epsom & Peter Dunne's UF seat to be 63/120
