Luxon is not a natural politician, is he?

Luxon really does have negative charisma doesn't he.

Question Time also got heated around political donations with Hipkins questioning Luxon whether Polkinghorne had donated to the ACT Party, and if so, if that had created a conflict of interest when Seymour wrote to the police on Polkinghorne's behalf.

...

Seymour then weighed in saying he could stand up and say "there's been no such donation to me, but I'm not going to do that, and I'd urge all members of the House to think very carefully about what the implications of every member declaring every possible donation, or not, at every point of questioning.

"If you really want to go there then we could have a very different type of politics."

Seymour is such a prick. Some of us do want transparency in politics so we can see who your sponsors are jackass.

Completely void of political nouse, isn't he?

It’s wild that this is a real job. Imagine going to work and having to make “zingers” at the expense of your coworkers and then being publicly ridiculed for saying something dumb in the process.
