Duncan Garner: The Panel - More Pressure on Luxon, As Winston Continues to Rise

Christopher Luxon, National Party leadership, Winston Peters, polling trends, co-governance and tax reform all come under the microscope on today’s Editor in Chief panel. 

Joined by Maurice Williamson and Ashley Church, we unpack whether Luxon can survive mounting pressure as another poor poll is released. 

Is there actually a viable alternative, or is National stuck with the leader it has? We also explore why polls drive political decision-making more than anyone admits, and how Winston Peters’ rise could reshape the election. 

There’s also a deep dive into co-governance, including unelected representation in council decision-making, and why this issue is firing up voters.

Jones recent comment about Smolders will likeley wreck Winston's chance of great success. His ony hope is that the msm are so averse to the topic of maori takeover that the whole issue will escape many.

No-one can put up and then kill its own members bills like Winston. He’s a man for the people who like bills that read well as press releases, and don’t mind undersized fish.
