Say what you like about Cam Slater, but the boy can write.

He's had his ups and downs and paid for some bad behaviour on his website, but he has a good flow in his writing.

He’s also had a good contact book but whether those contacts are still talking to him is anybody’s guess.

On his website, now called good oil, he’s written a think piece called the coming National coup.

He reckons Christopher Luxon’s continued bad numbers mean the National Party is now seriously talking about replacing him as leader. 

He claims sources inside caucus say that Luxon has three months to turn around his numbers.

He claims Women don’t like him.

People who believe in anything don’t like him because nobody knows what he believes.

His Coalition partners know what they believe.

Free marketers can go with Act.

Nationalists can go with New Zealand First.

He says the opposition can smell blood and then lumps the media into the opposition camp.

Even though ironically, he is the media as well and getting stuck into Christopher Luxon.

Slowly Christopher Luxon seems to be losing the support of the centre right.

Not that he had much in the first place.

He was not given a honeymoon period because I think the electorate could see the performative nature of his politics.

But these are easy editorials to write. Everyone can point out the flaws and the problems with anything.

Only the truly talented can provide a solution.

So, if the problem is Luxon. What is the answer?

Willis? Bishop? Stanford? or Simeon?

They’re the next four. If you want to go deeper. Would Mitchell, Goldsmith, Collins be any better?
