The Opportunity Party is leaving the door open for National.

The latest Talbot Mills poll put Opportunity on 4.7 percent, just a hair shy of the 5 percent threshold for making it into Parliament.

Prime Minister Chris Luxon has ruled out working with the party, saying he won't go into business with those who want to increase taxes.

Opportunity says it's ready and willing to work with parties across the political spectrum.

Former leader Gareth Morgan says the party's not tribal.

"It's neither left nor right - it'll look at policies on their merit."
