The incoming government will have such a huge majority as not to need New Zealand First.
I believe New Zealand First will easily crack the 5% mark as Winston, being half maori, alone feels safe addressing the big issue upsetting New Zealanders, namely outrageous co-government propositions, maori favouritism and the like.
He’s pulling sizable audiences of older folk, a sector noted for their high voter turn-out.
While the National-ACT coalition won’t need NZ First to form a government, they’d be mad not to give Winston a Cabinet post. Better to have him inside the tent, than sniping at them from outside.
The Labour opposition will be a mess, such will be their decimation and the new government may take the view that no-one (rightly) takes attacks from the Greens and Maori Party seriously. That leaves Winston, a problem easily avoided by including him, and possibly Jones in minor Cabinet roles.

I will be voting for Winston for that very reason. He is the only one prepared to speak up against compulsory Maori glorification. The rest are afraid to be labelled racist.
Really reward him and keep him busy adding Maori affairs as well to make life interesting
Problem is if Winston is in – Seymour will be out!
