Quick Glance: Election 2023: Possibility of No-Deal with NZ First, National warns of another election
  • If National couldn't make a deal and Labour and NZ First refused to negotiate, neither side could govern and a second election would be required.

  • National's indication of another costly election due to their own political expediency is concerning.

  • Yesterday, Labour leader Chris Hipkins reiterated his vow not to form a government with NZ First.

  • National is increasingly worried about the prospect of a second election and is making efforts to salvage their desired National-Act Government in the final week of the election.
