This three-party bloc won 57 seats, leaving Clark four seats short of the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 121-seat Parliament (decreased from the expected 122 because the final results gave the Māori Party only one <a href="/wiki/Overhang_seat" title="Overhang seat">overhang seat</a>, after it appeared to win two overhang seats on election night). On 5 October the Māori Party began a series of <a href="/wiki/Hui_(M%C4%81ori_assembly)" title="Hui (Māori assembly)">hui</a> to decide whom to support. That same day <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3432999a8153,00.html">reports</a> emerged that a meeting between Helen Clark and Māori co-leader <a href="/wiki/Tariana_Turia" title="Tariana Turia">Tariana Turia</a> on 3 October had already ruled out a formal coalition between Labour and the Māori Party. Māori Party representatives also held discussions with National representatives, but most New Zealanders thought the Māori Party more likely to give confidence-supply support to a Labour-dominated government because its supporters apparently heavily backed Labour in the party vote. </p><p>Had Turia and her co-leader <a href="/wiki/Pita_Sharples" title="Pita Sharples">Pita Sharples</a> opted to join a Labour-Progressive-Green coalition, Clark would have had sufficient support to govern with support from a grouping of four parties (Labour, Green, Māori and Progressive). Without the Māori Party, Labour needed the support of New Zealand First (seven seats, down six) and United Future (three seats, down five) to form a government. New Zealand First said it would support (or at least abstain from opposing in confidence-motions) the party with the most seats. Clark sought from New Zealand First a positive commitment rather than abstention. United Future, which had supported the previous Labour-Progressive <a href="/wiki/Minority_government" title="Minority government">minority government</a> in confidence and supply, said it would talk first to the party with the most seats about support or coalition. Both New Zealand First and United Future said they would not support a Labour-led coalition which included Greens in Cabinet posts. However, United Future indicated it could support a government where the Greens gave supply-and-confidence votes.<sup id="cite_ref-NZ_Herald_10346236_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NZ_Herald_10346236-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Brash had only one possible scenario to become Prime Minister: a centre-right coalition with United Future and <a href="/wiki/ACT_New_Zealand" title="ACT New Zealand">ACT</a> (two seats, down seven). Given the election results, however, such a coalition would have required the confidence-and-supply votes of both New Zealand First and the Māori Party. This appeared highly unlikely on several counts. New Zealand First's involvement in such a coalition would have run counter to Peters' promise to deal with the biggest party, and Turia and Sharples would have had difficulty in justifying supporting National after their supporters' overwhelming support for Labour in the party vote. Turia and Sharples probably remembered the severe mauling New Zealand First suffered in the <a href="/wiki/1999_New_Zealand_general_election" title="1999 New Zealand general election">1999 election</a>. (Many of its supporters in 1996 believed they had voted to get rid of National, only to have Peters go into coalition <i>with</i> National; New Zealand First has never really recovered.) Even without this to consider, National had indicated it would abolish the <a href="/wiki/Maori_seats" class="mw-redirect" title="Maori seats">Maori seats</a> if it won power. </p><p>The new government as eventually formed consisted of Labour and Progressive in coalition, while New Zealand First and United Future entered agreements of support on confidence and supply motions. In an unprecedented move, Peters and Dunne became Foreign Affairs Minister and Revenue Minister, respectively, but remained outside cabinet and had no obligatory <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_collective_responsibility" title="Cabinet collective responsibility">cabinet collective responsibility</a> on votes outside their respective portfolios. </p><p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/event/media.cfm?c_id=1500891&objectid=10346266&media=3">Possible government setups</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2005_New_Zealand_general_election&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NZ_election_billboards.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/NZ_election_billboards.jpg/220px-NZ_election_billboards.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/NZ_election_billboards.jpg/330px-NZ_election_billboards.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/NZ_election_billboards.jpg/440px-NZ_election_billboards.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2272" data-file-height="1704" /></a><figcaption>Election <a href="/wiki/Billboards" class="mw-redirect" title="Billboards">billboards</a> advertise the parties and candidates standing nationwide and in each electorate</figcaption></figure> <p>The governing <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_Labour_Party" title="New Zealand Labour Party">Labour Party</a> retained office at <a href="/wiki/2002_New_Zealand_general_election" title="2002 New Zealand general election">2002 election</a>.

A major boost to this campaign came with his "<a href="/wiki/Orewa_speech" class="mw-redirect" title="Orewa speech">Orewa speech</a>" (27 January 2004), in which he attacked the Labour-dominated government for giving "special treatment" to the <a href="/wiki/M%C4%81ori_people" title="Māori people">Māori</a> population, particularly over the <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_foreshore_and_seabed_controversy" title="New Zealand foreshore and seabed controversy">foreshore and seabed controversy</a>.
