Yesterday’s NZ Herald DigiPoll shows the Labour Party, “would win 58 seats - tantalisingly short of a majority in the
120-seat Parliament, even with Jim Anderton's support. …Assuming he retains his Ohariu-Belmont seat United Future leader
Peter Dunne could hold the crucial 61st seat and the balance of power if Helen Clark decided to spurn the Greens and NZ
First.”
