Winston Peters was [asked about the leadership of **Todd Muller**](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c%5Fid=1&objectid=12336863&ref=goodoil.news) on *The Country* radio show yesterday, and he quite rightly refused to talk about him:

> **Winston Peters** did not want to talk about Opposition Leader Todd Muller on The Country today.  
>  
> The Deputy Prime Minister told Jamie Mackay **he was tired of discussing National Party leaders** when he should be talking about regional issues, rural people – and NZ First.  
>  
> “**Why on Earth am I talking about the 10th National Party Leader since I’ve been in politics?**“  
>  
> Peters’ ire was raised further after Mackay suggested Muller could be his “only option” to form a coalition government in this year’s election.  
>  
> “With respect, I’m going to ask you again. I’m on your show to talk about a party called New Zealand First and the great things we’re doing for regional/provincial New Zealand and standing up for people who listen to this radio station.”

He has a point; National has ruled out dealing with **Winston Peters**, and **Todd Muller** has only given a weaselly answer on the issue, instead saying it was up to caucus.

So there is no point wasting air time talking about a nobody.

> “So I come on your show and you want to waste my valuable time, and yours, and your listeners’ time talking about the latest National Party Leader. How many have I seen? A procession of people. [Last time I was on your show it was Simon Bridges](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/the-country/news/article.cfm?c%5Fid=16&objectid=12333340&ref=goodoil.news). Now it’s Todd Muller.  
>  
> …   
>  
> “We’ve made sure, unlike other political parties that would come along and hammer the farmer – we’ve said the farmer is the backbone of this economy, we’ve always said that long before Covid-19 and we’re going to make sure that farmers get a fair go.  
>  
> “**When was the last time somebody in the National Party stood up for the ordinary farmer in this country?”**

And that is a very good point, because the supposedly rural and business friendly Todd Muller is actually a teal-coloured green type wanting to harm the economy by insisting we follow the green fraud of climate change. He’s a true believer in that regard too.

Sadly, the Muller experiment seems to be faltering, with yet another hapless display in the House yesterday.
