Rumours have been swirling of Prime Minister Christopher Luxon getting rolled by his party.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith denied the rumours saying no one in National’s caucus had raised with him the idea of replacing Luxon. 

In recent polls National has lagged behind Labour with 33% versus 38% in the Talbot Mills/Anacta poll conducted between November 1 and 10. 

This has fanned the flames of conversation regarding the likelihood of National's re-election next year.

Although, Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "essentially you've got Labour on the ropes, whereas you've got, the coalition government headed by National in a much stronger position."
