National will need both parties to make a government after they lost two seats following special votes.  

Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls says it's hard to figure out how much progress was made over the weekend.  

He told Kate Hawkesby while there seems to be agreement on infrastructure issues, race relations policy could be causing tension.
