昨晚，选民向国家党和工党发出了明确的信息——这两大政党只能怪自己。新西兰选民昨晚向两大政党发出了明确的信息。他们期待更多。
Voters sent National and Labour a clear message last night – and the parties have no one to blame but themselves New Zealand voters sent the two major parties a clear message last night. They expect more.
在对过去几十年来由两大政党领导的政府所具有的渐进式政治官僚作风的断然拒绝中，十分之七的选民没有选择工党，同样比例的选民跳过了国家党。两党合计仅获得了略过半数的政党票，在选举当晚为58%。这是两大政党有史以来最低的综合得票率。
In a resounding rejection of the incrementalist political managerialism that has characterised the governments led by the major parties over the past decades, seven in 10 voters passed over Labour, and the same number skipped National. Between them, the two parties took just over half the party vote, 58% on election night. It was the lowest combined major party vote ever.
