I'm not sure if replacing Luxon shows more weakness than keeping him at this stage.

could be an shitshow - either way

So he is staying.

What is he doing about Winston? What is the caucus doing about the MMP referendum debacle?

[-] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 3 points 3 weeks ago

so there is no-one strong enough in the caucus to lead better than we have seen from the current PM over the last 4 weeks and beyond?

Apparently not.

Fun fact - Only 6.25% of National MPs are named Chris. And only 15% of Cabinet are named Chris.

The media make it appear like there are a lot more, like you have no choice but to vote for a Chris, but in fact there are many non-Chris MPs.

(Out of the 4 MPs named Chris in parliament, only one of those is not in the National party)
