Act seems to now be propping up the decomposing carcass of a zombie called Rodger that was once a LABOUR gnome.Cleverest thing the Nats could possibly do is draw the Maori Party closer right now.
Pita Sharples as we have seen is VERY astute and absolutely honourable in these situations.
The sense that the Nats could tell Act to go away because they don't actually need their help adds a certain subtle excitenment to the negotiations.
Can't imagine Rodders is THAT keen to frighten people with their pet zombie in any case.
