    Episode 142 - What now for the National Party?

    13/08/2026 | 21 mins.
    Only four months after the previous caucus vote, National MPs were urgently called back to the capital amid fresh leadership murmurings in the media.
    Once again, Christopher Luxon emerged from the caucus room as leader of the National Party and Prime Minister.
    But what will this latest bout of instability mean for the campaign? Who benefits — and who is best placed to capitalise?
    With fewer than 90 days until the election, Jesse and Ben sit down to unpack what it all means as Kiwis weigh up who will get their vote.
