Just focusing on the 6 parties that will get MPs based on the preliminary results, there was a swing to the right bloc of about 200,000 votes. You could count TOP, on the basis of their cup of tea proposal to Luxon for Ilam, but then you'd really have to count the collapse of NC (the next biggest vote after TOP in 2020), so the swing looks even smaller.
The missing 600,000 from Labour's 2020 vote is about the number of special votes still to be counted, which I expect to skew left, as usual.
