Dear John,

It's crunch time in this election campaign with overseas voting opening on Wednesday and advance voting opening next Monday.  

I’ve been on the campaign trail for three weeks and one thing is clear - Kiwis feel we’re heading in the wrong direction. I've lost count of the number of people who say to me – if you don’t win, I’m leaving.  

It's clear you want change. But to get change, you have to vote for change. 

Just ask yourself this: how will you feel if you wake up after the election and we have a Labour-Greens-Te Pāti Māori coalition set to take a wrecking ball to our economy? If that’s not the Government you want, then don’t leave it to chance. 

Please Party Vote National.

This is really important because, every MMP election is tight and I expect the result to be extremely close this time too.

Lots of people have been asking me about minor parties and how we might form a coalition government.

So here’s the deal...

First and foremost, if you want to change the government, please give your party vote National.

Beyond that, my preference is to form a strong and stable two party coalition government between National and ACT.

I believe that government would be in the best interests of New Zealanders at this very uncertain time.

However, if New Zealand First is returned to Parliament, and I need to pick up the phone to Mr Peters to keep Labour and the Coalition of Chaos out, I will make that call.

Frankly, I think Chris Hipkins will ultimately do exactly the same thing. 

That’s not my first preference but we all remember 2017.

New Zealand First hasn’t gone with National in 27 years - and could choose Labour again.

That decision is ultimately up to you. 

So, if you want to change the government, then I’m asking you to vote for change and choose a better New Zealand.

I’m asking you to please Party Vote National.
