Will 'bottom lines' actually mean much this election?

from RNZ - All Programmes

If you've been following the election, you'll know that which parties are open to working with each other post-election is a hot topic... especially with the minor parties polling so strongly. Christopher Luxon has repeatedly ruled out working with Opportunity, and last night during the multi-party debate, Qiulae Wong reaffirmed her stance against working in a government with Winston Peters as foreign minister. But once our votes have been cast and the power to form a government is at stake... will all this really mean anything? Joining Emile Donovan tonight is Peter Dunne, former leader of United Future who served as a minister in former National and Labour governments. Peter has been writing about these so-called 'bottom lines' in a great piece for Newsroom.
