Jacinda worked for Tony blair.
The most successful UK govt ever, aside from the unfortunate Iraq issue.

Funny that, on a lighter note, calls for unity seem to be falling on deaf ears.
They can't even agree on where the post caucus announcement will be made!
A National party spokesman said, 'we have a situation where one potential leader wants the old Legislative Council Chamber and the other wants the Beehive Banquet Hall.
So they've had to book both!
So much for getting rid of the division & disfunction, must be so disheartening for the dwindling few MP's like Reti who put the country ahead of self interest.
Last time, caucus all came out & stood behind Judith Collins in a show of unity. Wasn't long before the bluster turned to custard.
This time, maybe they should carry the new leader out on their shoulders.:)
Chris Luxon won't want to tarnish his future prospects with a lost vote, expect him to pull out if he thinks he's going to lose.
As a "senior policy advisor".
If you want to build things up, rather than tear things down, then you need sound policies.
Luxon Announced as the new leader. He might be alright. Certainly better than Judith.
No doubt Labour will be delighted with his election. The most likely outcome will be ACT accounting for 20% at the next election.
For Labour I still think there is a high probability of Jacinda announcing that she will relinquish the leadership of the Labour party next November /December
Pleased Luxon won, Bridges far too smug and slippery to be very popular, he already failed before/
Luxon would be a good man for the markets if we could just get rid of labour
