Gotta say, while I'm a supporter of MMP I do think it more appropriate that the leader of a coalition government (and Prime Minister) should be the one who makes the announcement on the government.
It is farcical that a Leader of a minor party gets to do this. (excepting of course if the announcement isn't about being in government)

Absolutely. However - did being farcical ever stop Winnie?

It is quite ridiculous, but it's Winston's way. MMP = Mickey Mouse Politics.
Some comments on here from the left supporters are that Winston going left will give The Greens a chance to make a difference. I think this is exactly why Winston wants to go with National. Make some serious deals to clean up the rivers and some other environmental issues (that everyone agrees with).Then come next election The Greens have no relevance as the big issue has been dealt with without them. Which is exactly what Winston wants
Excellent point. If there is such a thing Winnie needs a bucketload.
Yes, he is making hard work of this. Whomever he goes with will have this same extended farce every time a decision needs to be made.
Bill will have to harden up or nothing will get dunne.
