Because 25% is reserved for NZ First

True that.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but JuCo would do a better job for the country than this

I’m not sure, who brief time as opposition showed her up to be petty, nasty and vindictive. I think she’s just as self-serving as the lot of them but I don’t think Peters and Seymour would have been able to walk all over her as they have with Luxon.

Yes to all of this

Or, it is convenient for National to say it is ACT's policies in the coalition agreement but actually they support it but are reluctant to say so.

A fair point and whether Luxon et al are letting it happen because of his obvious incompetence as a leader/PM or because National et al support the policies it’s still at Luxon/National’s door.

Yeah this. Luxon may be a pushover, but he's well on board with these policies. He's a CEO, he's outsourcing blame

Act First are a beard. The Nats are loving the plausible deniability, allowing them to retain the political centre while not being moderated by it.

It's not even ACT, it's Atlas and that's what we should be worried about
