They have to achieve the 5 per cent threshold making it all the more likely that the Government will engineer a dirty deal to help them out.Meanwhile ACT is on the cusp of a second seat in Parliament. Just 5000 more votes would bring Beth Houlbrooke to Wellington.Only a strong ACT Party can ensure that National sticks to its no new taxes commitment cuts wasteful spending and slashes red tape and bureaucracy.
