On the face of it there's little doubt that he'll win the seat. However, the good folk who are inclined to vote National will express their lack of support by finding something to do that doesn't involve voting on 20 September. So a reduced majority is likely. If the opposition parties can raise their profile and increase their share of the party vote by using this lad's meagre work history and total lack of experience then that will translate, indirectly, into more seats in parliament for them. If I recall correctly, the current government commands the slimmest of majorities, and even if all else was going well for the government, this could be a decision that tips them out of office.
