Prime Minister John Key has promised to lead a government that will serve the interests of all New Zealanders.

With nearly all votes counted in the 2011 general election, National secured 48 percent of the vote tonight while Labour mustered just 27 per cent support.

With 100 per cent of polling places and just over two million votes counted, the Greens were sitting on 10.62 per cent and New Zealand First comfortably managed to clear the 5 per cent threshold, sitting on 6.81 per cent.

   "So happy not to have a centre left coalition that is the stuff of hightmares. They have all these wonderful plans that the taxpayer would have had to pay for."

   "Key is claiming a mandate to sell assets, he has not. He got 48 per cent of the vote, 2 per cent rigged being Epsom and Ohariu. That is 50 per cent for the left who DONT want asset sales."
