Anderton looking forward to being in opposition

RADIO NEW ZEALAND: The leader of the Progressive Party, Jim Anderton, says he'll be a guerilla fighter as an MP on the opposition benches.

Mr Anderton retained his seat in Parliament, winning the Wigram electorate with a majority of more than 4,500 votes.

He says, in some ways, he's looking forward to his new role of holding a National-led government to account.

The Progressive Party missed out on gaining a second MP, which would have been former MP Matt Robson, having won support of 0.93% percent in the party vote.
