Are Judith Collins public confessionals actually hurting or helping National?

I’m not sure Judith’s current confessional tour is helloing National.

She went on Magic Talk radio last week and bewilderingly started reminding everyone about the appalling Muller coup…

I’m not sure you really want to be reminding people about the Todd Muller Coup because it says terrible things about the National Party.

Combine all the false confidence of a tall man with middle management over achievement aspirations and the naked cowardice of backbench MPs who suddenly feared becoming unemployed and you had National Party values at their most self interested and traitorous.

Panicked clowns literally shooting holes in their own lifeboat.

Muller was Cunliffe, Shearer and Phil Twyford all rolled into one.

…after reminding everyone about the cowardice of her MPs,  this week Judith confessed to the media what she considered was the ‘body blow’ to National this election…

Judith Collins reveals the ‘body blow’ to election campaign that National never recovered from

In her speech on Wednesday she admitted that the leaks and scandals hammered National’s chances of being elected to power, particularly former National MP Denise Lee’s leaked email to Newshub during the campaign. 

In the email leaked to Newshub, Lee criticised Collins’ plan to review Auckland Council as a “highly problematic idea”, and Collins now admits it overshadowed her housing policy announcement because the leak was all the media wanted to discuss. 

“The destabilisation of this leak was a body blow to the National Party that we never recovered from.”

…can you believe this garbage? National crashed to one of their worst results ever because Denise Lee rightfully criticised Judith for making up bullshit policy on the hoof?

THAT was the body blow was it Judith?

Not the multitude of crazy shit National MPs were collectively doing on top of the Coup, on top of the meaningless policy and on top of Judith own appalling leadership?

The National Party campaign was an arrogant, bloated train wreck that EVERYONE is responsible for. New Zealanders saw National care more about their rich mates in the economy than the actual people, and once you see that, you can’t unseen it, trying to blame it all on Denise Lee rightfully smacking down Judith as the reason it all went to pieces suggests that Nationals till have no idea why they lost.
