John MacDonald: Don't dismiss Helen Clark's bombshell

Helen Clark has dropped a bombshell. Saying that she reckons if Winston Peters doesn’t like what he’s being offered in a coalition deal with National and ACT, he’ll turn around and try and stitch something up with Labour.

Now I know the first thing you might say to that, is ‘what about Chris Hipkins saying he would never work with Winston again’?

Well, a couple of things on that. If Labour really wanted to get back into government and a deal with NZ First was the meal ticket, one of two things could happen.
