Which parties were prepared for members’ bills?

The first ballot for members’ bills was done on Thursday. 95 MPs were eligible to have a bill in the ballot, but only 65 did so. How did each party do?

Greens 15/15 100%
National 24/30 80%
Labour 21/34 62%
ACT 3/6 50%
Te Pati Maori 2/5 33%
NZ First 0/4 0%

So Greens were on the mark, and National were impressively prepared considering how many new MPs they had.
