Don't Go There!\n\nChris Trotter\n\n * 🏛️ **Historical lesson ignored:** National’s previous fallout with Winston Peters cost them nine years out of power; they seem poised to repeat this mistake.\n * ⚖️ **Coalition risks underestimated:** National’s attempts to undermine NZ First could backfire, leaving the Right without a crucial coalition partner.\n * 📉 **Poll implications:** Weakening NZ First may recover some voters for National, but not enough to reach John Key-era levels; mid-30s polling likely insufficient for victory.\n * 🔄 **Populist backlash:** Peters could respond to perceived betrayal with a strong populist counter-attack, consolidating NZ First support and challenging National.\n * 🧾 **Political risk:** Nicola Willis’ comments questioning Peters’ competence could provoke him to showcase effectiveness, increasing political tension during an “austerity” Budget.\n * 🤝 **Labour-NZ First coalition potential:** A populist push by Peters could align NZ First with Labour, appealing to voters seeking balance between pragmatism and populist representation.\n * 💥 **National’s strategic blunder:** Attacking Peters and NZ First risks creating the very coalition National sought to prevent, highlighting their misjudgment of political dynamics.\n * 🧠**Leadership contrast:** National’s leaders historically struggled to sell pragmatic strategies internally, while Peters’ political acumen consistently maximizes voter appeal.\n * 📌 **Key insight:** National underestimates the necessity of respecting Peters’ influence; failing to do so could make a Labour-NZ First coalition seem inevitable, despite National’s intentions.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
