A new poll out today puts the coalition government below the number of seats needed to govern. The Talbot Mills poll, published this morning in The Post, has the Labour Party pulling ahead of the National Party for the first time in two years - 34% over 33%, respectively. New Zealand First is also hovering around the 5% threshold required to enter parliament, down to 5.2%. Mark Leishman speaks to associate professor of politics at Victoria University of Wellington Lara Greaves.
