Chris Luxon says National would work with New Zealand First if it had to, and he thinks Labour would do the same.
He's confirmed his position this morning after weeks of questions.
Labour and New Zealand First have both ruled each other out, but Luxon believes both could still choose each other.
Luxon says David Seymour and Winston Peters would find a way to work with each other.
But the ACT leader told Mike Hosking he doesn't think he'll be able to sit around the same Cabinet table as Peters.
“If he’s making those demands, it’s because he is using the leverage that he might otherwise go with Labour. If that’s the case, then I think people have everything they need to know that they can’t trust the guy.”
