Best way of ensuring that the current govt gets back into power is for people on the right to attack Luxon. Not sure which side of the fence you are on, but right leaning people nead to start supporting him.
@Colin 2.18pm - well the depicted 'Cox' needs desperately to get off the fence and start calling out the divisive BS for what it is. He needs to renounce "treaty partners"; "treaty principles" and "co-governance", period! Until he finds the backbone to do that he will remain a very poor performing opposition/leader. If he manages to become PM, it will ONLY be because the opposition are truly woeful and appalling, something that is rather hard to deny. Otherwise, there is nothing endearing about the chap, other than he's a slick, corporate ... ouch! New Zealand desperately needs a leader to unite us - not divide us, or sit in the middle, because they have personal aspirations of achieving a goal and a certain title, over that which is only right and will make us, as a 'Nation', successful.
Garrick, another excellent image and comment!
I seem to recall that National only became viable again after Luxon was chosen as leader. Am I missing something?
Curious. I am neither right nor left leaning. I vote according to my principles. But I am desperately against the current Labour manifestation and will vote for who can get rid of them and cross my fingers that a sensible NZ emerges.
Regardless of Luxon's performance, now is not the right time for "his side" to be dissing him. The party needs support from it's supporters else we end up with a super charged labour party. What's worse? Nat's supporters choice as I see it!
@Anonymous 6:16pm The cartoon is not about what the "cox" should or shouldn't do—it's about wondering if National would be better off without him altogether. For all his supposed shortcomings, would National actually be better off without him? Would the country be better off with another round of Labour? Those are the questions, Garrick is posing.
