Will 'bottom lines' actually mean much this election?

Will 'bottom lines' actually mean much this election?Nieuw14 min

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.
