About this episode
Winston Peters has made it clear he is determined to return New Zealand First to Parliament in 2023.
Two years after departing as their coalition partner, the 77-year-old has upped his criticism of Labour and is showing no signs of supporting Jacinda Ardern again.
He joins a number of parties outside Parliament trying to ride a wave of anti-government sentiment to victory in 2023.
But with so many parties fighting for the same vote, how many will actually succeed? And is there room for more moderate parties to break through as well?
Today, I’m joined by lobbyist Mark Unsworth for a discussion about who will sing the tune the disgruntled voters will follow.
