    Winston Peters wasn’t joking.

    If the Prime Minister overstepped too far, Peters can literally bring down the government. The PM’s party does not have the numbers to govern alone.

    Peters has been a politician for 50 years. When NZ switched to proportional representation, Peters positioned himself as a centrist and often holds the balance of power.
