Winston Peters is unfortunately one of the most coherent politicians in New Zealand right now. Come on, is there a politician in both Australia and New Zealand more effective at slapping down other politicians? Right? Maybe it's just my information bubble, or I'm biased due to the incident where Peters threw I think the Aussie foreign minister under the bus in front of journalists. That was a "I hate to love you Peters" moment.
I think that's only partly why he's been able to negotiate the position he has.
Another significant factor is he has benefited from an absence of smaller parties and the dominance of two parties. Which I expect the lowering of the threshold to change.
