Best site to watch results as they come in?

[Rince]

No TV, so what site will have the 'best' coverage of results coming in?

I'm predicting it will be the same dull predictable affair as every other televised election night since forever. Meangingful results don't start showing up until around 10ish. Up until then, it's just bunch of boring talking heads. News readers, pundits, washed up politicians, talking about nothing in particlar. Periodically they read out some results statistically insignificant results as the networks compete to see whose graphics are least shitty. You may as well skip the whole thing and then tune in to the 6pm news to see who is most likely to acquiesce to Winston.

Discourse Votes 2014 is alternative online election night coverage. "Join us on election night, live online, for NZ's sweariest and most irreverent election results show. There will be results, and arguments, and nonsense and beer." I don't know anything about these Discourse people, but it sounds promising.

KiwiFM has an "alternative election night audio commentary from Rose Matafeo and a group of the comedians and writers behind 7 Days and JABAT - plus cameos from Dai Henwood, Jono and Ben and more."

I'll probably be flicking between the channels (out of morbid car-crash curiosity), Discourse, and shoving a knitting needle up my dick while masturbating with hot sauce in between.

I wonder if there's any other alternative election night coverage?

also I think tv3/1 will have live streaming? idk

for pure website results (ie, not a stream) google found:

http://www.electionresults.govt.nz/
http://tvnz.co.nz/vote-2014/results-group-6066567

other places too I bet.

Funniest part for me is at the moment even ALCP is doing better than the Conservatives.

No. Nothing funny about them.

Also disappointed to see that Conservatives have moved up the list.

Will be interesting to see how well the final results map onto the results from the advance votes, which would have National with a simple majority - 61 of 121 votes.
