Media are divided on whether or not Simon Bridges will remain as the leader of the National party.
Tova O’Brien from Newshub says that the rot has set in for Simon Bridges and that Judith Collins is tempering talk of a National leadership coup.
On One News Jessica Mutch disagrees, saying that despite Judith Collins polling higher as preferred PM, he is safe as National leader for now. Claire Trevett at A Newspaper thinks that the polls mean that time is fast running out for Bridges, and Jason Walls says that political commentators are saying that his low personal polling means the end of Simon Bridges.
