Edit: My wishful thinking brain overrode my math brain.....Op+Gn only have 23 (16+7). No path for NOG government on current numbers. Would have to change a lot with the specials coming in.

ON current numbers; Opportunity + Green have 25 seats; National has 42.

That gives 67; a slim 1 seat majority.

I know it is very unlikely; it is the same one seat majority; that National, Act and NZF have.

But the specials have a good chance of shifting to the left, they traditionally do, which may increase the OpGn share.

That and the colours work out so nicely; National with the blue, Opportunity in the middle with teal and Greens with green.

They could be the chromatically satisfying coalition.

Greens and nats will never work together, they have very opposing ideas on how the earth should be exploited to the last molecule for the benefit of billionaires.

I think we are going to be stuck with the right wing again for another 3 years most likely.
