newsflash! Boag on P?

A colleague tells me that Michelle Boag has just said on Nat Rad's new afternoon panel the following (paraphrased):

The deal is done. We will have a minority Labour/Prog/Green Govt, with UF and NZF support on confidence and supply and it will be signed by the end of the day.

When asked if she was flying a kite she said no.

boag's information is roughly correct

is that based on inside info or is it conjecture, Anon?

I note that you expounded a bit further on DPF's blog:

"Span: Boag's scenario is correct, but it will be by the end of the week, not today. And NZ1 and UF will merely agree to abstain on c&s votes. Their active support is not needed."

I have always found Boag to be a very good indicator of things I wanted to have no part of. Not sure about her credibility, I do have problems with her ethics though.

I would have thought it would be to the advantage of all players to wait until the results of the specials are in.

i'm starting to wonder when Brash is going to concede. Listening to talkback a little bit (can't stand it for too long, brains start to melt out ears) the rednecks are getting restless about it.
