I would like to see someone at the helm that has started a business from scratch and built an empire. Don't think Luxton fits the bill ? CEO of Air NZ still someone operating in a cocoon. Still better than the PM's business experience though. And as for the minister of finance he is like a deer with no eyes and legs, running the country to ruin.
Political experience is not necessarily a bad thing when you're intending to be a politician.
if it was up to me, I'd require anyone intending to become a politician to spend at least 6 months working at an ordinary low pay level job so that by the time they become a dreaded politician, they at least have  a tiny bit of life experience & some clues as to  daily life for lots of people.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
