    Background

    Earlier this week United Future's leader Peter Dunne took the time to explain to Scoop what his parties bottom lines will be in post election co-alition talks. Whilst uneasy about National's plans to scrap the Maori seats should they become the next Government - Mr Dunne explained that keeping the Maori seats was not a bottom line for his party, if they were to enter into a coalition with National.

    Mr Dunne also discussed:

  • How his MP's would be kept in check given the 'party hopping law' has now expired

  • Recent comments by United Future MP Marc Alexander which included bagging Labour Cabinet Minister, Steve Maharey

  • The achievements United Future has made whilst providing confidence and supply to the Labour-Progressive Government

    • ENDS
