National's Deputy Leader Nicola Willis is defending the party warning of a second election.

The party has ramped up efforts to keep New Zealand First out of the mix - warning there's a growing possibility National wouldn't be able to get a deal done.

Willis told Kate Hawkesby there's always a risk they won't get enough support.

She says a lot of people already believe there's going to be a change - but they have to vote.
