I am surprised by the number of expats who voted Act too, 6 out of 8 Voted Act and the other two voted Green.I think people are just looking for new ideas and new faces as well as a bit sick of the rhetoric we have been fed.

My point of view is simply that I do not think that a lot (I said 10% of gun owners as an example) of Acts votes came from gun law specific single issue voters. Mostly people have far broader issues to worry about at the moment. I did not vote Act (I voted Nats) but Im very pleased that Act got in and have these proposed changes in the coalition agreement.
