Gordon Campbell: On National’s Long Whimper Of DiscontentChristopher Luxon went into and came out of today’s special caucus meeting as damaged goods. If survival is to be counted as winning, it has still looked more like a Pyrrhic victory than a cause for celebration. No doubt, some of his advisors will try to spin today’s events as a “Luxon: The Great Survivor” story. But if it takes his own colleagues three hours of deliberation to decide to vote for him, that sends a pretty grim message to undecided voters in November. Only elsewhere will the champagne corks be popping.
