Brent Horrox tweeted: Dear National & Labour if you promise me a 70" curved 4K TV I will vote for you #teamkey #ForABetterNZ.
A parody twitter account @4ABetterNZ, which has a picture of Labour leader David Cunliffe on its home page, made good use of the party's official hashtag and its 2014 election slogan "Vote Positive".
Tweets included: " So many new followers have joined us #ForABetterNZ. Because you're in early, Trevor has promised a free pet moa. #VotePositive #TeamMoa".
Another tweet was: "If you're struggling to feel the positivity after today, lick a 9V battery, it kept us awake during Skipper's speech. #ForABetterNZ".
Media commentator Brian Edwards said both parties "were playing to what they considered to be their strengths".
Social media expert Vaughn Davis said all the political parties had become "social [media] savvy" in the lead-up to the election.

I'll take a Labour-Greens Govt lifting our kids out of poverty, educating them well, & protecting their environment over #TeamKey any day.

#ForABetterNZ Labour has found the NP's soft underbelly at long last. It's called Hekia Parata. Great schools policy, Labour!

I actually like the fact that we're not shoving our leaders' face everywhere, #forabetterNZ is what politics should be about, #Labour2014.

#teamkey Poverty in NZ is fiction of loopy leftists who want wealth distribution: communism.
