Minor parties likely to come into play in election

The latest political poll shows Labour could govern alone following September's election, despite a jump in support for the National Party.

The 1News Colmar Brunton poll shows Labour at 50 percent - a nine percent point drop since last month's poll, while National has gained the same amount to sit at 38 percent.
