Andrew Geddis explains potential parliament overhang

from Midday Report

The latest RNZ-Reid Research poll has National on 24.8 percent, which projects to about 30 seats in the House of Parliament. But National won 44 electorates last time, and if it holds even some of those, Parliament could end up bigger than 120 seats. To explain how it works, University of Otago law professor Andrew Geddis, one of the country's leading authorities on electoral law, spoke to Guyon Espiner.
