OK Peter Coyote, here's my scenario : Tight election, National lets the comedy ACT have Epsom. They get 3 MPs. Immediate leadership coup, then one of them is prosecuted for corruption. Continued light entertainment assured for another 3 years. Nat + ACT + Winsome + Dunny = 59. After an embarassing/entertaining week where Brash tries to sweet talk the Maori party, a minority Labour/Green government is formed, and sees out its term comfortably. Occasionally negotiating with minor parties to pass specific legislation (a rare example of true parliamentary democracy : I think these past 3 years have been exemplary in this respect). Ha.

Peter Q is right. National havn't announced that they will stand aside in Epsom but if its going to win them the election then they will. If act win 3-4 seats, National stay where they are now and get confidence and supply from United Future then they are in...

I know this won't find a receptive audience around here, but I'd happily nominate Tariana and Winston for life memberships in the National Party, because with enemies like that who needs friends.
