Changes

'''Winston Peters''' (born 11 April 1945) is a New Zealand politician who has been the Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealander since 2017. He is also Minister for Foreign Affairs, and was previously Treasurer of New Zealand and Deputy Prime Minister for the first time in the 1990s. Of Maori and Scottish descent, Peters entered Parliament in 1978, as a member of the centre-right National Party. He was dismissed from the cabinet after criticizing the incumbent government, but went on to found the New Zealand First Party. Peters soon found himself numerous times in a "Kingmaker" position: he could decide the Prime Minister by forming a coalition with either the National or Labor Party. In 2017, Peters sided with the Liberal parties Labor and the Greens, despite being fairly right-wing, thus making [[Jacinda Ardern]] the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

Peters has been considered charismatic, enigmatic and wily over the course of his lengthy career. His party is generally anti-immigration, and highly nationalist, and has been considered conservative; however, he has been called a populist, and voted to legalize same-sex marriage. As a Maori, he supports rights for the Maori, but is highly critical of the large-scale Asian immigration to New Zealand. Some have compared him to [[Donald Trump]], others believe him to be more similar to [[Pim Fortuyn]]<ref>https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO0205/S00170.htm</ref>. He has frequently and aggressively clashed with the mainstream media.
