I have a clear memory of every election since 1969 in this plucky little nation of ours.

I swear I cannot recall a single one where the question being asked repeatedly in the first week of the new government was: how long do you reckon they’ll last? 

And that includes all the previous ones that contained Winston Peters.

How long do we reckon they’ll last?
