Summary
Christopher Luxon’s National Party has made it clear they’re unlikely to team up with the Opportunity Party, despite the smaller party’s interest in forming a coalition. With just under 5% support, Opportunity’s bold policies — including a $370 weekly universal basic income and new land taxes — clash with National’s stance against tax hikes. Luxon likened voting for Opportunity to backing Labour and the Greens, signaling a firm distancing. While he didn’t completely rule out future cooperation, he hinted National may choose not to “do business” with them. The Opportunity Party is still weighing its next move as election day draws near.
