Not quite the situation.
He is the leader of a party that gained enough of the vote to allow either the right (National)
or the Left (Labour/Greens) to make a majority and hence form a government.
This gives his party considerable power, as you see.
This is how our system works, like it or not.

Winston PM, Jacinda DPM, should work, Winnies been DPM in a Bolger Government.

Jacinda will need some breaking in for the top job.

I imagine that's what he will be wanting.
I can see Labour agreeing to something along those lines(maybe Winston PM for some of the term, then Jacinda), National not so much.

Agree. Some form of PM sharing? Giver it to him - he's already been in very senior roles, and he's reaching his twilight years. National was were he started but booted him out later, then JK ignored him like a plague - and now Nat's have leaked his super payments, and campaigned him out of this electorate by advocating cutting out the middle man...

She has had experience in politics already, here and the UK.

Unlike Mr Key, funny no-one said that when he became PM.

Anyway, I'm not bothered, Winston will require some agreement with some of his policies, fair enough....and it keeps whoever ends up in, under some control.

I much prefer it to FPP.

1439854 2017-09-26 23:40:00 Sounds like a joke, but this is the reality:

We spent all the money, time, efforts, etc. etc.;

And at the end, Winston Peters, one man decides who he wants to be our PM!

Is this a healthy system? Is this what we called 'Democracy'? Is this the system we want?
