National not revealing favourite partner

ONE NEWS: National will not say who it would like to govern with if it wins the election and has to team up with a smaller party.

But National Party leader John Key says negotiations will determine how a coalition will be formed.

Meanwhile, Progressives leader Jim Anderton is calling on all minor party leaders to say before the election whether they would try to form a coalition with Labour or National.

Anderton is the only one to say he will only be giving his support to Labour.

Other leaders are refusing to rule out holding coalition talks with both major parties.

Anderton says those who vote for the minor parties should know who that party will try to form a government with.

He says it abuses the vote of a person who may not in a million years want their vote to go towards a Labour-led coalition, or a National-led coalition.
