Wow, ruling out working with the Opportunist Party is a big call by National.
I can’t really understand why they have made this decision but suspect it’s due to losing many of their supporters to TOP.

Kieran McAnulty reckons Luxon ruled out TOP accidentally. “I think he did it by accident, and then he got flustered, and then he ran away,” he said. “I don't think he meant to do it. He started going on about how they don't like parties that want to spend more, while they're in coalition with one of those. And so I think the fact that he called an end to it and then ran down the stairs like he was competing at the Commonwealth Games suggests that yes, it wasn't meant to happen.” https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361011738/christopher-luxon-rules-out-working-opportunity @jeremy_pm@mastodon.nz
