This is unlikely for several reasons. For starters, there is no successor. Nicola Willis? Chris Bishop? Simeon Brown? Mark Mitchell? Those are not compelling options. Erica Stanford would probably have most appeal to non-National voters, but they won’t be the ones making the call. The National MP who looks like a future party leader – James Meagher – has no name recognition, and has yet to be tested under pressure.

ActionStation: Economists, Campaign Groups Hit Out At PPP’s Labelling Them ‘Ideological, Reckless’

“There is no financial case for PPP’s in New Zealand where the Crown can borrow more cheaply”, said CTU Economist Craig Renney. “The Government’s own PPP guidelines state that. We shouldn’t be handing profits to overseas financiers when it comes to building the schools, hospitals, and essential public services Aotearoa needs. We will all pay more in the long-run.”
