gzt: Yes, agree. Prior to the election It's been obvious that was coming. This could well be the most fractious phase.

I have no clue how this will play out over the next 3 years. I'm a swing voter, so Im not that invested in any party, although for various reasons, I favour Labour/Greens/Te Pati Maori

I can certainly see the media getting into a frenzy though. For example lets say it all goes ok. There will be issues, obviously as these 3 parties are different. So, normal. But when CL or WP or Dave say something, the media will work overtime. In reality these three leaders will have some issues over the 3 years, goes without saying. Take Dave's Weetbix comment and Luxon's response. Its a powerplay between three likeminded or not likeminded parties, so Weetbix is overstated in the greater scheme of things. They HAVE to work together, but each of them will want to put the alpha male hat on from time to time. It all depends how equal that hat wearing is.
