I think he will be boss eventually but he's not even an MP yet so it probably won't be this year. He'd surely have to do some time as an MP first so it'll be interesting to see if they throw someone else in after Bridges' almost inevitable demise should he go after the election ... assuming the Nats can't cobble together a government.

Trump is indeed hypocrite
My example of trumps lies wasn't a misdirection, it was but a simple example how that what you wrote was clearly wrong.
You wrongly claim that one Politician owned up, "as he had no choice but to", when your own President steadfastly refuses to admit he is wrong, on a epic scale.
The exact same way that Crusher did exactly the same. She was clearly caught in a lie, yet still steadfastly refuses to acknowledge it.
It is you that has the double-standards Jason.
It would seem that some existing National MPs are feeling pressure to make a move before Luxon enters stage right. Collins has taken to Twitter presumably to raise her profile but so far she has just managed to look bitchy.
That 'Crusher' nickname is a misnomer, she never crushed anything. When the then government finally did get to crush something Anne Tolley was minister and all they had was the body shell of a little shit box car. The owner had removed the engine, transmission and running gear.
Hard to recall a more hollow 'victory'. Embarrassing.

Do National really want to win the election-look at the three years worth of absolute economic shit you would be inheriting
As long as it's not CGT.
You can bet the current lot will introduce that across the board at the first budget after next election, if not before.
They have to get their hands on some more other oeoples money somehow.

100 million to reserve motel units for homeless just in case?
They could have had 250 houses for that, permanently housed 1600 homeless people, and still had the asset at the end, that would then be worth more than the initial outlay.
It's easy to throw other people's money away with nothing to show for it.
And how long would it take to build those 250 houses, starting with a green fields site? The homeless people need housing now, not 12 -18 months or more down the tracks. Mind you the job might have been a bit easier if Housing NZ, while under the previous governments policy of getting out of social housing, hadn't been so keen to demolish numerous state owned housing units using the "earthquake prone building risk" excuse and then leaving the resultant land empty. Not sure where you live but in Wellington (Taita, NaeNae, Pomare) lots of perfectly adequate (not flash but a roof over the persons head) units were demolished because of the perceived "risk" of a brick chimney. Only now is some of that land starting to be utilised.

it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Using the modeling this govt was trotting out prior to election, most of them should have been built by now.
They could also invest in the pre owned housing market, or is that too simple?
You only have to log on to trademe to find that there are in excess of 30,000 homes currently for sale in all areas, in all budgets on that sales platform alone in NZ.
The Govt either rent properties and prop up capitalists in the process, or buy the properties themselves.
The country really is run by a bunch of money wasting idiots with no idea how to make a dollar go the distance. If they buy them, essentially they still have the money, as an appreciating asset.
Also, you don't go into why the homeless suddenly need these houses right now.
