Peter Dunne: Political Commentator and former Cabinet Minister on Christopher Luxon's comments around MMP

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Is the Prime Minister fed up with his coalition partners?  Christopher Luxon told Kerre Woodham yesterday he's open to another vote on MMP, if re-elected.   The system allows more representation in Parliament for smaller parties and was upheld in a 2011 referendum.  Political commentator and former Cabinet Minister Peter Dunne told Mike Hosking Luxon's clearly frustrated.  Dunne says he thought he'd be leading a strong National government, supported by others, instead of the three-way coalition he signed up for.  Luxon’s also being described as having loose lips.  Dunne told Hosking he’s let a lot of comments slip recently appearing to just blurt things out and mop up afterwards – including abruptly ruling out working with the Opportunity Party.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
