Its seems like a lot of area seats were lost because left wing votes were split between labour and greens which allowed national to snag it.

Yeah, FPP for the electorate vote is kinda bullshit. Ranked preference would be way fairer

Absolutely needs to be STV, just like some (many? Most?) Local body elections.

I was about to try and point out that a party vote for greens is actually a party vote for a greens+labour coalition.

Then realised that you're referring to electorate votes.
