I think Winston Peters ruling out ever going into coalition with Chippy after the next election is actually more significant than many people will realize.
Because Winnie was actually Chippy's only credible path back to being prime minister again. Without Winnie, Chippy is completely stuffed, because the alternatives are not real options.
The alternatives are:
One - being in a coalition with a couple of loony parties, which centre voters are absolutely not going to go for. So you can forget about that.
The other is that Labour is returned as a majority Government again, which is, after what happened last time, not going to happen for a very long time again.
So basically, there is no way back for Chippy. He will not be Prime Minister after 2026, if ever.
Now a lot of people would say to me at this juncture - well of course not, National were always going to win the next election anyway, so this is just a completely spurious argument.
But I would say to you is - Labour's chances are actually a little bit better than you might think, because what we have right now is hardly a wildly popular Government.
These guys were elected, remember, telling us they were going to turn this economy around. 18 months later, they have not turned this economy around. 18 months later, we are still in the economic doldrums.
We are yet to see a vision, economically, from the coalition Government, the right track, wrong track indicator that comes out in multiple polls now is heavily negative for this Government.
Thousands of people are voting with their feet and leaving the country altogether.
People vote with their hip pocket, right? Forget about everything else. If you just look at the economy, that is your greatest determiner of what happens at the election. People vote with their hip pocket - and right now, the hip pocket is suffering, it is not looking good for the economy.
But also, there should be a target right now on Chippy's back in Labour, because Winnie's problem is not with Labour.
Winnie's problem is with Chris Hipkins, which means a different leader and Winston Peters is back in the game as a possibility for Labour. Now that requires Labour to roll Chris Hipkins and then their chances are good again.
However, that requires Labour actually realizing that they need Winston Peters to form a coalition Government after 2026 - and that requires them also realizing there is no way they can coalesce with the Māori Party because most voters are allergic to the shenanigans that that party get up to.
But I don't think Labour is smart enough to realize that yet, do you?

The use of AI has become more widespread, with 77 percent of New Zealanders using it over the past year.
Despite this, the new One NZ AI Trust Report found that nearly half don’t trust large companies to use AI ethically.
Furthermore, 62 percent say they would stop using a company if they had concerns about its AI use, with top concerns being the misuse of personal data, job losses, and unfair decision-making.
One NZ CEO, Jason Paris, says there's 'massive' opportunities that come with AI - across all facets of business and life.
"But it needs to be done transparently, and sometimes corporates aren't as transparent as they need to be - and therefore, there's a question on trust."

Former Labour MP Stuart Nash has suggested the party needs to have some conversations about its future.
NZ First leader Winston Peters has ruled out working with Labour after the 2026 election if Chris Hipkins is still in charge.
Nash says this doesn't necessarily mean Peters has ruled out working with Labour - and the party will need to make some big decisions.
"You go into politics to be in Government - so it is a really interesting dilemma. Now it may be that the situation doesn't arise, but I can see a situation where the Labour caucus has to make a very important decision."

The Police Minister is attempting to clarify the meaning of a memo to staff on lower-value retail crime cases.
The nation-wide directive told staff not to investigate shoplifting worth less than $500 dollars - and less significant petrol, online and retail theft.
Mark Mitchell says that's not explicitly what the memo intended.
He's promised police will respond to crime, and says the directive should have been worded better.
"And it could have been much clearer in the way it was written - it did create some confusion, I totally understand and get that."
