New Zealanders go to the polls on October 14. The centre-right National Party is currently leading but is unlikely to be able to govern alone.
New Zealand’s National Party leader says he is prepared to work with the populist New Zealand First if needed to form a majority after the election.
Leader Christopher Luxon said in a video posted on social media that his preference was to form a strong and stable two-party coalition government between National and ACT.However, he added he would be prepared to form a coalition with New Zealand First if that would get his party into power. He even left open the prospect of a sensational return for First leader Winston Peters as deputy prime minister in declaring himself open to a deal with the wily 78-year-old.
Last week, TVNZ released its latest political poll conducted by Verian, with National on 37 per cent and Labour on just 27. Labour’s result is its lowest in six years and would see it slip into opposition.
