We’ve always known that Wel­ling­ton is a warm glow­ing love­fest of pinko lib­er­al lefties. And no mat­ter what your feel­ings are on the ambigu­ously worded opin­ion poll cit­izens-ini­ti­ated ref­er­en­dum on kid-hit­ting, look­ing at the spe­cif­ic res­ults of the Wel­ling­ton elect­or­ates is pretty inter­est­ing.

As it hap­pens, as of Fri­day night, the top two elect­or­ates in New Zea­l­and with the highest per­cent­age of ‘yes’ votes are Wel­ling­ton Cent­ral (35.9%) and Ron­go­tai (29.22%), and Ohariu isn’t too far behind with 19.73%.

The oth­er big pock­ets of ‘yes’ are found in Auck­land Cent­ral (28.84%) and Mt Albert (22.67%).

So if you’re feel­ing a little let down by the over­all ref­er­en­dum res­ult, a little com­fort can be found in know­ing that Wel­ling­ton is still ace.
