I'm highly amused by Luxon attacking Winston Peters for enabling Jacinda Ardern as PM.
Winston Peters new-found cooker friends won't be happy to be reminded that their latest hero was responsible for the Great Satan in NZ politics (at least in their warped minds).
Next: National has to take on David Seymour and ACT. The time for coalition is over, it's all posturing independence from here on in.

@thomasbeagle It's clear to me that National's election strategy has two main thrusts, a) raise the spectre of a drunk and disorderly Labour Party spending like COVID times and causing more inflation, and b) raise the spectre of Labour needing TPM to govern. Both are based on a wilful misreading of history and are based on fear of 'chaos'. It's a backward-looking fear-based strategy. I am sure this has been workshopped and now every National MP is being told to endless repeat that Labour means a return to more inflation and more "Mao-rees".
