Former ACT leader John Banks is heaping praise on David Seymour and the success of the ACT Party after Saturday's general election. The Labour Party won the election in a landslide - winning a majority 64 seats in our 120 seat parliament. ACT's David Seymour looks set to be joined by 9 new MPs in parliament after polling around 8 percent of the popular vote. John Banks told our producer Jeremy Parkinson that Seymour's strategy of "staying on message" has paid off.
