Seats below come from the average of the three most recent polls on file, allocated the way New Zealand actually does it (Sainte-Laguë, 5% threshold, electorate waiver). Tick parties to build a government and see whether it reaches a majority. 61 seats is a majority in a 120-seat Parliament. Overhang seats can push the House above 120, which lifts the number needed.

Electorate counts start from the seats each party holds now, capped at what current polling entitles it to. Change them to test a different local result — winning an electorate lets a party under 5% into Parliament.
This is arithmetic, not a prediction. Parties decide for themselves who they will work with, and several have ruled combinations in or out — check their own statements on the party profiles page. Parties covered: 7.
