Imagine waking up after election night to find neither side has enough seats to govern.

Polls have suggested there is a chance we’ll see a hung parliament, with neither the left or right blocs having a majority of seats.

With election day fast approaching, we’re looking under the bonnet of how MMP runs, how coalition talks work, and what happens if parties can’t agree on anything.

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago law professor, Andrew Geddis is with us to break down how Parliament works, what happens if the numbers don’t stack up, and how messy things could get.
