Recently, amid a swirl of media speculation and rumours, the Prime Minister made the unprecedented move of initiating a vote of confidence in himself, with the aim of clearing the air and dispelling the notion that he has lost the support of his caucus. Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced that he had succeeded in the anonymous ballot, although he refrained from revealing the exact numbers.
We’ve seen a variety of reactions from other political leaders, with Labour leader Chris Hipkins insisting that the votes should be released and, and New Zealand First leader Winston Peters describing the whole thing as a strategic error on the Prime Minister’s part.
Producer Toby spoke to Michael Swanson, a research fellow at the University of Otago, about the political implications of this vote. They also discussed the rising popularity of New Zealand First, and talked about the future of that party beyond the leadership of Winston Peters.
