Latest polls show that the Opportunity Party has a 14% chance of securing a seat in parliament. 

The rising amount of support means that if the Opportunity Party secures six seats, it could oust the current coalition when combined with the other left wing parties (according to current polls). 

Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan that, "If You add 6 seats into that, which is a possibility fairly remote of TOP making it past the threshold, then this coalition government would be out of office on these figures."
