At that number, it would have just 12 list seats and 35 total seats, meaning many of its MPs will be out of a job. Speaking to supporters in Auckland's Westhaven this evening, Collins said "we always knew it was going to be tough", as she thanked supporters. She thanked party president Peter Goodfellow for his "unrelenting devotion to the cause", to the campaign team and deputy Gerry Brownlee. All information on the party's website appears to have been removed, and its Twitter account has been made private.
