Disagree Bernard, Labour will likely need the Greens and Te Pati Maori to get another term. Also I think you are overly dismissive of the Green influence, it flies under the radar because the political media doesn’t report it.

I don't think Bernard means that they don't need them to get power, but that they don't need to negotiate with them because they have no leverage since they ruled out working with National.

The leverage could very well be either negotiate with the Greens or sit on the opposition benches. In this scenario they will negotiate.
I agree Alex
