It is also smart politics from Jacinda neutralising what would have been one of the main themes for National in the election campaign, because most voters are easily fooled.
Sadly though, the South Island has been almost totally left out.
I would expect Bridges to come out soon and announce that he will not under any circumstance work with Winston (he will not say NZ First). He should have done this already. The Greens will love that or as Claire Trevett says in the Herald this morning, the Greens' 2 goals are Zero Carbon by 2030 and Zero Winston by 2020 !!
