National will probably run a good candidate in Epsom and sign the death certificate for ACT. They can't really do anything else.
The big question is whether Dunne will be back in. If not, then National will take his seat
So maybe, just maybe we may have only National, Labour, Greens, Winston First and the Conservatives (+possibly Dunne) in the next parliament. That would be interesting and yet again leave Winston in the driving seat.
