Thank you overhang.
His strategy of ruling Opportunity out didn't keep them out.
But none of that really matters. The ends always justify the means. Here we are.
At worst Labour's path to power is a like a winter trek up Mt Everest.
National's is a walk in the park.
For the left, the specials at best force Opportunity into play. But most likely to a hung parliament.
So, the most likely outcome here is either the right alone. Or the right with Opportunity.
And listen to how Erica Stanford described this to me on election night.
Basically, pick up the phone, or you'll get knifed.
And Quilae Wong.
You see, even if everything goes Labour's way, they'd need Quilae.
And the Te Pati Māori, Greens, Labour and Opportunity government would skate on thin ice with a slim margin and no room for error.

Oh, how "interesting that another media person, is extolling Opportunity and telling Chris Luxon what to do". Wow!
Ryan, it's funny how in the aftermath of the election, the media are portraying Opportunity as the winners. In reality they are likely to have seven novice and socialist MPs merely warming up the opposition benches and contributing nothing of any relevance. If I was National, I wouldn't bother phoning them. The right bloc will either sneak home, or there will be a hung Parliament and a new election. Either way, it will be a continuation of economic stagnation, woke policies, an all-powerful bureaucracy run by the Unions, and Maori resurgence for the next three years. Batten the hatches.
Sometimes you need to look past the smoke and mirrors. Who are TOP? No friends of the right. Kayla Kingdon-Bebb was a co-author of He Puapua. Lees-galloway, enough said??? Luxon did right to rule them out.
I'm thinking: 'A Trojan horse" for sure.
We need to wait and see. Don't encourage Luxon to be reactive.
Opportunity will be a seven day wonder without wall to wall media coverage.
We have the Greens claiming the election was played....well well the TonTon Macoute Pati which is tied at the hip to the Greens played it well. And the other side played it too. Pots and Kettles.
