The terrible preferred PM poll for Christopher Luxon is a leading indicator of a fall in the polls for National. If the public don’t like the leader, then they will vote for another party – no matter what the policies. It happened to Andrew Little, so he quit. It happened to Simon Bridges so he got rolled. It will happen to National before the election unless Luxon discovers how to appeal to voters.
Even before National loses more popularity due to Luxon being unlikable, inept and generally unable to articulate what he stands for, five National MPs are going to lose their seats.
If you are one of these MPs, you are probably thinking parliament can’t survive without you and that Luxon better up his game or you are gone.
Or you may think the immortal words of Jeremy Thorpe apply to Luxon:
“Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his friends for his life.”
