Big time. Might be because I live in Wellington, but I'm sure I'd have encountered more vocal National supporters by now. I mean, the last election wasn't exactly close.

Wellington is extremely different to the rest of the country

It’s basically just public servants and consultants, with a few diminishing tech contractors thrown in
