Well said Frank. Luxton really is the worst and Seymour of course would be the greatest beneficiary in the country. As for Winnie he has the biggest grifter in NZ politics on his team.
Luxon's big problem is that he sees the world in black and white (right and wrong). In his mind, if he's entitled to something then claiming that something is automatically the right and proper thing to do. He doesn't understand that just because it's legal doesn't mean that it's moral. He can't see that claiming the entitlement is at best amoral and at worst immoral. As far as he is concerned, if it is allowed then nothing else matters.
He's blind to nuance and he can't foresee the long term effects of his actions. He lives in the moment and it is clear it had never occurred to him that he was unleashing a public relations nightmare. He doesn't seem to understand that actions have consequences, and that's a fatal flaw for someone in his position. It makes him seem weak, and the weak members of the herd soon get eaten by predators.
He won't last. He's far too naive and too innocent.
Who could not see this type of behavior as inevitable. At least he is simple enough not to hide his attitude as other PMs have done.
