A minor party Prime Minister?

From Nights, 8:15 pm on 9 March 2026

Could New Zealand ever see a Prime Minister from a minor party? It's never happened before in this country's history, but there's no reason why it couldn't. Whatever way the wind blows at election time this November, it is almost a certainty that our next government will require a coalition. 

Joining Emile Donovan to discuss is former leader of United Future, Peter Dunne.
