Judith Collins is now the Leader of the National Party after Todd Muller’s hapless term as leader imploded.
Chloe is an exceptional politician and a future leader of the Party. If there is anyone who can pull off a shock result here, it’s Chloe.
JUST WHEN YOU’RE THINKING Labour’s activists have become smart, caring and (almost) wise; they prove themselves to be anything but. A pseudonymous contributor to The Standard, Te Reo Putake, has seized the opportunity created by Nikki Kaye’s resignation to demand that the Greens pull Chloe Swarbrick from the Auckland Central race.
I was looking back at three blogs I’ve done on Judith Collins in earlier years and can’t see any reason to change my assessment of her politics.

I’d say she was Muldoon in drag, but Robert was never this muscular.
We didn’t survive a volcano, a terrorist and a virus to be rewarded with Judith Bloody Collins as Prime Minister!
Every rational citizen in this country has every reason to ensure they unite to stop Judith Collins becoming Prime Minister.
Just because Jacinda doesn’t want to talk about you doesn’t mean she’s ‘woke’, it means you are politically irrelevant and trying to paint the PM not talking about you as a form of identity politics activism makes you sound crazy because her ignoring you has nOTHING to do with identity politics.
