		Peters proposes that the number of new people approved by the government to reside in the country of 4 million people be cut from the current 50,000 per year to only 10,000 - a figure so low New Zealand's population would decline once more.
		Still, Peters has the remarkable ability to bridge constituencies that would normally be considered to be polarized by his railing against both immigration and the "Maori industry", says Jane Kelsey, a commentator on New Zealand politics and professor of law at Auckland University.
		Peters' party is one that Prime Minister Helen Clark - whose Labor Party gained only 41 percent of the vote in the election and won 52 of 120 seats in the single house of parliament - has ruled out of discussions to form a minority government.

	The Epoch Times \| Winston Peters — The Cat With Many Lives
		Peters' decision to attack Tauaranga opponent Bob Clarkson, in the last week of the campaign is considered a mistake.
		According to Damien Edwards, Mr Peters' popularity took several hits during the election; one when the party was polling high he was described as a kingmaker — which reminded people of all the problems when he was part of a coalition with National in 1996 which fell apart.
		Winston Peters will be hoping he has many more than nine lives when he faces his first week up against the opposition in the House over his "inside/outside Government" position this week.

	Scoop: Agenda Transcript: Winston Peters IV
		WINSTON Well I took Philip Burdon and Mike Moore off shore with me twice when I was the Treasurer of this country and Deputy Prime Minister in the interests of expanding this country's international engagement and partly to help Mike Moore head off to the WTO and become its leader.
		WINSTON Because you don’t start negotiations with one side on the basis that they're the only ones who can in effect become a government, at their request and then do a switch midstream which is what I'm being accused of.
		WINSTON It is hardly the defining issue in total as you say and there are bigger issues to do with long term economic and social security of Asia itself, of the world, China's a country that has a much bigger radar screen than was contemplated in that question you're asking.

		Peters never heard it and made no attempt to contact the station and check his facts before he made his claims.
