Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: National has bigger problems than its leadership

April 20, 2021

Analysis by Bryce Edwards Speculation about the National Party’s leadership has died down, after a fortnight of rumours and overt positioning by supposed challengers to Judith Collins. She lives on as leader for a bit longer, and Christopher Luxon and Simon Bridges have been put in their place. National now desperately needs to focus on ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: National has bigger problems than its leadership" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2021/04/20/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-national-has-bigger-problems-than-its-leadership/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: National has bigger problems than its leadership">Read more</a>

April 13, 2021

Analysis by Bryce Edwards How seriously does the Māori Party take issues of corruption and the untoward influence of big money in politics? Not very, based on how it’s handling a political finance scandal in which three large donations were kept hidden from the public. The party is currently making excuses, and largely failing to ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The Māori Party needs to come clean" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2021/04/13/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-the-maori-party-needs-to-come-clean/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The Māori Party needs to come clean">Read more</a>

Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Rumours of Collins being rolled by Luxon and Bridges

April 10, 2021

Analysis by Bryce Edwards. Judith Collins’ National Party leadership is under more scrutiny, with increased talk in the media of her being replaced by brand new MP Christopher Luxon.
