"But there's also a possibility that there's going to be a third person in this marriage —as Diana once said— and we're going to have to work through how we create a three-way deal," he said, acknowledging the potential inclusion of NZ First.
Seymour said the public had voted for change, but he also acknowledged the importance of the special votes and democracy.
“About 567,000 people's votes haven't been counted yet and their vote counts too - so we wait. That's the rules."
