OPINION: Judith Collins National Party leadership is under more scrutiny, with increased talk in the media of her being replaced by brand new MP Christopher Luxon.
For many commentators, it s just a question of when rather than if Collins is replaced. While others ponder whether Luxon really has what it takes to do better than the incumbent.
On Thursday,
the Herald s Claire Trevett wrote about the prospect of Luxon taking over the deputy leader role, with Simon Bridges returning to the top spot.
The theory put forward is that while Luxon might ultimately be the leader National needs, first he needs experience. Therefore, he might serve an apprenticeship under Bridges first, as deputy and Finance spokesperson.
