The likely challengers for the leadership are former Air NZ CEO and rookie MP Chris Luxon and former cop Mark Mitchell,  Stuff  has been told by sources close to the party.  National MP Nicola Willis is said to be standing as Luxon's deputy.   . Collins resigned amid a caucus uproar  over her shock demotion of former leader Simon Bridges  over comments he allegedly made four years ago. She announced his demotion late on Wednesday night without consulting the wider caucus of MPs, who were furious with her. Collins had planned t

I t's been less than two years since Simon Bridges was ousted as leader after his popularity dropped in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic as New Zealanders rallied behind the Government's elimination success.  Since then, the party has had two new leaders, an MP was sacked for sending inappropriate text messages, an MP quit for leaking sensitive patient data to the media, and a candidate stepped down after his partner revealed he impersonated her online. Let's take a look back.   . Jami-Lee Ross saga The National Party's woes arguably began when former MP Jami-Lee Ross  accused then-leader Bridges in 2019 of committing electoral fraud  by asking him to split up a $100,000 donation from a Chinese businessman into smaller amounts, so they could be hidden from t

T he 1918 influenza pandemic, also known as the Spanish Flu, was sparked by the spread of the exceptionally deadly H1N1 influenza A virus, which is estimated to have killed 50 million people worldwide near the end of World War I.  It was 100 years later when the deadliest respiratory virus pandemic since the Spanish Flu took hold: the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019 and is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. It has so far claimed more than 5 million lives.  Similar to 1918, Māori have been disproportionately affected. Māori make up 43 percent of all COVID-19 cases, despite representing about 15 percent of the popula

D espite widespread dissatisfaction with the Government's confusing COVID-19 response, the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll shows the National Party and Collins, in particular, have failed to capitalise and get voters on side. The mood for a coup is heating up and it's not just National's caucus who thinks Simon Bridges should wield the axe.  . The political death spiral is the slipperiest slope and National is tumbling. Without a strong National Party, Labour's confounding and conflicted COVID-19 response has barely made a dent.  Labour is holding steady on 42.7 percent - down just 0.3.  TONIGHT AT 6PM
