If National wins ...

[macduffy]

Yes, well said by Simon - but the change will give National a boost and a chance to claw back some ground.

The Todd look a like probably won’t lead National now

Spose Chris committed to continue with his efforts to win Botany

[ynot]

Status quo for Winston. He can't loose under MMP. As much as I dislike him I would be happy to see him back National. Anything to remove Ardern.

I thought Todd came across really well in the various interviews last night - confident, quick, clear minded and humorous. Great credentials too - excellent business background.

Or is it because Simon was so bad?

[winner69]

Is that guy Hooton going to be Muller’s Chief of Staff?

Whose Hamish Price?

That is confidential.

And Google will tell you about Hamish Price.

I think all of the above !

Yes. That's pretty much it. Simon is undoubtedly clever and has plenty to offer - but lacking in charisma to appeal as leader - particularly following years of Key, then Jacinda. Both brilliant bringing NZ to world attention. Muller will be fine - not quite so sure about Goldsmith as finance minister. Excellent fellow, but might not be the best slot for him. Will soon know. And it's about time David Seymour accepted a portfolio. That is assuming Labour get booted out - a distinct possibility.

I hope so but the market totally disagrees with you. National according to the market now are a 1 in 7 chance. I managed to pick up some 8.00 on National overnight. If you want to make some money.. betfair.com and you can bet/invest on the NZ election. You can also make millions by going against Trump if you are so convinced... you can back anyone but Trump to be next president at about $1.90.
