A former New Zealand First MP has given his tips as to what Winston Peters will be negotiating for. 

Peters and Act Leader David Seymour haven't spoken, with Seymour saying he tried to call and text him but didn't get a response. 

Former MP Andrew Williams says Winston will likely want Foreign Minister, a knighthood and treasurer as well. 

He told Mike Hosking Peters may want his number three, Casey Costello to be associate Police Minister. 

Williams says his number four Mark Patterson is an ex-Otago farmer and Federated Farmers chair could build bridges across to Act's Andrew Hoggard.
