Christopher Luxon hits lowest popularity in past year as leaked poll reveals souring public mood

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has sunk to his lowest popularity in the past year, with a leaked poll showing more voters disapprove of him than approve – even after quelling leadership speculation and internal grumbling at the end of 2025.

Look, sure the Prime Minister is as socially popular as drunk driving, but we are forgetting what he truly represents, us as a people.

The ill-deserved self confidence of an evangelical Christian, his open disdain for poor people, his spinelessness when it comes to Winston and Seymour, his cowardice when it comes to Trump, his bland CEO KPIs, his mediocrity, his dull intellectualism, his faded values – all of these things make him the perfect representative of what we have all become thanks to social media hate algorithms.

A nation of ruddy faced, low imagination horizon Hobbits fixated on cow udders, sport and alcoholism with a level of domestic violence that borders on an undeclared civil war.

We would burn books if anyone knew what a library was.

We are so laid back we are horizontal.

Yes Luxon is a bland anti-intellectual brain fart whose mendacity and sophistry makes his obvious sense of ego horribly misplaced, but aren’t we a Nation of bland anti-intellectual brain farts whose gauche sense of parochial self worth is far greater than objective reality?

We cursed Jacinda and banished her from NZ because she had the temerity to save 20 000 lives for crying out loud, you gotta expect some karma backlash for that.

Look.

Luxon is a charmless chump, but he is the Prime Minister NZ deserves.
