The List MP's are the MP's that are added in so that all the seats the party has will be full. eg. if a party got 70 seats in the government and out of those 70, 40 were electorates then 30 list MP's will be present.

What is the difference between a party vote and an electorate vote in NZ?
The party vote determines the share each party has of seats in parliament. If a party wins 50% of the party vote, it's entitled to 50% of the seats. The electorate vote determines who your local MP is. New Zealand is divided into 70 electorate seats, each with one MP. To become an MP you must win the most electorate votes in your seat (this doesn't always mean a majority, for example, if one candidate wins 10% but the next wins 11% and 4 others win 9.5%, the candidate with the greatest number of votes wins).
