Yeah, we did.
Unfortunately NZFirst are the kingmakers. Whomever they coalition with gets into parliament.
Labour, this time around, like idiots, shot out the gate with "we will not work with Winston" and then sat on their hands during coalition negotiations, despite Greens+Labour+NZFirst being a majority (the same as Act National+NZFirst).
This is the doing of ACT and Seymour more than anyone else.
I don't think Winston particularly wanted to work with Labour either though, he has been extremely critical about things like co-governance and identity politics, for example.
