The Right wing in conjunction with the right wing corporate media are desperately spinning a line that National won the election.
That is a total fabrication.

I’ve communicated briefly with Jacinda, I’ve spoken to some of the leading members of Labour’s negotiating team and I can assure you all, any suggestion Labour are just going to roll over and allow NZ First to go to National without a fight is utterly wrong.
Jacinda can offer Winston legacy, Bill can offer him baubles. What Winston chooses will become his political epitaph.
It doesn’t matter that you got the largest Party vote, what matters is if you can get 51% in Parliament, if you can’t do that, then you can’t pass legislation.
In 2014, NZers shrugged over dirty politics & mass surveillance lies & voted in National to protect their speculative property bubble wealth, so as a progressive, to be where we are with Labour + Greens + NZ First being the majority, that’s a major victory.
Negotiating a Government requires extreme skill and the way you start will be the way you run.
