Christopher Luxon’s Polling Blackout: A Weak Leader Hiding the Truth
Someone in National’s caucus needs to grow a spine and demand those internal polls and focus group results. Blind loyalty won’t save them from a sinking ship.

The deed of trust has designed the institute as an attack vehicle against those people, public servants, companies and organisations who do not subscribe to their world view.
The vaping debacle is a case study in bureaucratic arrogance and political cowardice. The MOH needs a clean-out, starting with the clowns who thought they could pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.
The documents are stale, the connections are imaginary, and the public isn’t buying it. Winston’s response laid bare the absurdity and the declining listener numbers prove New Zealanders are done with the narrative.
This poll’s a wake-up call for National. Luxon needs to stop playing the bland CEO and start showing some fire.
Luxon’s Government gets a half-hearted pat on the back for sticking to their word. But pushing ahead with a medical school at an institution with a shaky academic reputation? That’s a gamble... and not a smart one.
