RNZ clearly wants to see Luxon Rolled (www.rnz.co.nz)

not neseserily just this artical but over the past few months I have noticed RNZ with a number of articles along the lines of "10 steps to change party leadership" with their target firmly on Luxon.

Not that i disagree with thier assesment. The dude is little more than an empty suit. It is funny that RNZ is trying to manufacture it, although maybe its a case of "where there is smoke there is fire"

It would be election suicide though. One of Nationals big cards are that they are not the Greens party or Te Pati Maori. Rolling Luxon would send a signal that only Labour is solid. Then again if they already think this election is a loss then rolling Luxon now is a great idea.

The way that he got played by Winston and David still leaves a sour taste in peoples mouth. Honestly the fact that they made him come to Auckland to meet with them is crazy; that is a classic power play.

NZF and ACT have been running the show; Luxon looks weak and ineffective; especially in the first year, he made so many stupid comments that they were almost keeping him from speaking to the media.
