I’ll bet that sounds impressive to you but that’s the way our democracy works. The National Party wins seats with much more than 10% of the votes IN THAT SEAT.
Seeing that we’re making unsupported assertions, I would argue that the Greens exercise vastly more power and more media attention than is justified by their ~10% support.
