Helen Clark and Winston Peters meet

Prime Minister Helen Clark and New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters met this afternoon.

The two leaders confirmed their understanding of Mr Peters’ Rotorua speech on 7th September 2005, in which he set out the position New Zealand First would take to ensure stable government for the next term of Parliament.

New Zealand First’s position is that following the final election result, the party with the most seats is in the first instance entitled to form a government and New Zealand First will act to provide stability.
