The National Party ⚪

Could Winston Peters be Prime Minister? National Contenders are losing their nerve to roll Luxon, mentioning fears that the backlash from rolling a sitting PM would make the role a poison chalice prematurely ending their political careers. There is also concern the party cannot change direct quickly enough. Insiders report that John Key, Murray Mcully and Paula Bennet are working overtime to coax a challenger out of hiding. Long time National power broker Maurice Williamson spoke with Duncan Garner today, and says everyone is expressing the same thing to him “Luxon must go” last week he had a meeting with ‘very senior business leaders’ and left because he was peppered with demands to know “what are you guys doing with Luxon? This cannot go on” Williamson plays it straight “National should NOT be where they are in the polls, especially against such an awful opposition, Luxon talks in word salad and he can’t go on” things are getting desperate. One insider has forwarded a novel idea - an arrangement between coalition partners to “Make Winston Peters PM, this is NOT business as usual, we need someone who will make tough decisions, and we need someone who can work constructively with both China & Trump” WP is well known and respected for decades by both superpowers, he could maintain Foreign Affairs while making the changes that National just cannot do. His years of experience is needed to sort out the activist public service and squash the Marxist creep. It would free up National MP’s to focus on their portfolios and be guided by a leader who has been in politics for five decades. It will also give National the space to rethink itself, its polling is at all time low’s for a National government. Send Luxon to the Uk to take up Goff’s old job, once the next election is called the coalition then goes its separate ways off to campaign and no Nats MP is tarnished for picking off a sitting PM. It’s an outside the box idea, but NZ needs a drastic change of course and we need expert skill in navigating us through perhaps complex times, it could very be that it’s time for “a man for all seasons to take the helm”. WP is off to the Whitehouse next month, let’s hope if Luxon is still around, he stays home. As former long time Nats MP Simon O’Connor recently stated “Trumps advisors would know exactly what Luxon and Seymour have said about Trump, and he won’t forget that” Maurice Williamson is shockingly blunt in this interview. Thoughts ?

We're proud to announce the shortlist for the national party leadership!
