On The Nation this weekend: He's the most talked about man in New Zealand this week and he's appearing on The Nation live. Simon Shepherd will interview Kim Dotcom about the formation of the Internet Party, who he will and won't work with in Parliament, and his extradition case.

Also, what does 2014 hold for the Green Party? Our reporter Torben Akel will take a look at the challenges the Greens have faced during their seventeen years in Parliament and how they have fared in the polls. TV3's Political Editor Patrick Gower will sit down with the Green's co-leader Russel Norman to talk election year strategy, the party's relationship with Labour, and the economic direction they want to take the country.

Then:

We'll debate all this with our panel, former Green Party MP Sue Bradford, New Zealand Herald journalist David Fisher, and Sherson Willis director Trish Sherson.
