Peter Dunne has explained his fear of the influence the growing Green Party compenent of the AXIS hydra will have on policy. This is why he has decided to deal with National. This from today's NZ Herald
He pointed to the likelihood of the strong-polling Greens playing a big role in a potential Labour-led government and suggested that wouldn't work well with his party.
"Particularly some of the impediments that the likely involvement of the Greens would bring to that government make it difficult to see how we could advance the policies we are most interested in."
