To understand why Luxon has failed, you have to understand how he was elected. It was the dying days of the Judith Collins led leadership of National after she had bombed out in the 2020 election. Simon Bridges was on the warpath and demanding a special meeting to challenge her. Bill English was National Party leader at the time. Luxon became leader NOT BECAUSE he was any good, but because it was always a grudge fuck against Simon bridges by Judith Collins.
