Ele Ludemann: Open letter to National MPs


Dear National MPs,

Your party members, the ones who support events, fundraising and you, hate disloyalty and leaks.

Voters punish both.

Internal sabotage isn’t just bad for the party, it’s bad for the country. Global instability and looming recession make it even more important than usual to have stable government.

If the leadership changes the coalition will falter.

If the election gives Winston Peters the choice of a three party coalition with Act and a weakened National Party, or a two-party coalition with Labour, New Zealand First will go left.

Support for our party doesn’t just depend on the leader. It depends on all of you, working hard and staying loyal.

Put national current and future wellbeing, governing well, and the party before your personal concerns and ambitions.

Yours sincerely,

Ele Ludemann
