Someone has a death-wish.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has told Newstalk ZB that he does not believe Winston Peters is undermining him.
“I’m just saying we are different and we have our differences. We have things that we can align on and we can work very constructively around and we will if it’s needed down the future.”
The comments come after Peters has spoken out about Luxon’s caucus confidence vote, describing National’s leaders and MPs as “inexperienced”, “egotistical”, and self-obsessed.
He said Luxon had opened the floodgates to further leadership challenges.
“It invites another one, and you know when the next one will come? Not long after the next polls come out,” he said.
But Luxon said Peters is not undermining him, he just has a different agenda to National.
“They’re the guys that claim to be socially conservative and then put Jacinda Ardern into power,” Luxon said.
“The real answer is, if you’re sitting out there thinking about what kind of government you want to take New Zealand forward with, you need a National-led government period, it’s that simple.”
