**Hobson’s Pledge has criticised Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s comments about spiking the Treaty Principles Bill.** 

**“We’ll spike it. We’ll kill it,” Luxon is heard saying on** [**footage**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd0nxmDkrto&t=14s&ref=goodoil.news) **circulating online.** 

Hobson’s Pledge claims that polling shows 64% of decided National voters back the Bill. This increases to over 80% support when respondents are shown the actual wording of the Bill. 

Hobson’s Pledge accuses Luxon of ignoring voter support and is calling for the Bill to become a conscience vote, allowing MPs to cast individual votes instead of following party lines. They argue this would better reflect the diverse opinions within National’s voter base. 

The group has proposed that National Party members cancel or withhold their memberships until Luxon commits to this approach.
