The National Party had been run "in a very dysfunctional way for the last four years," and now was the time for strong leadership - a quality Luxon said he had vast experience with.
He had built teams and culture and "got results and achieved things" through his corporate career and he was ready to apply these lessons to his new role, Luxon said.
He is forgetting one thing, caucus is not anything like a corporate  company when the boss says jump you ask how high, caucus is full of knife wielding backstabbers out for themselves, so we will see how his corporate  strategies go. It should be interesting.
That is an excellent point, & one which has been clearly shown over several decades by various politicians here. I suppose hoping that all the really nasty ones target each other & only the good ones survive to continue in politics is hoping for too much.
Oy, Santa - you listening...??
