Barry Soper: Does Vanessa Weenink have a point about the National Party?

One of National's outgoing MPs has revealed she's worried about the party's direction.

Banks Peninsula MP Vanessa Weenink - who's been in Parliament for three years - has lost her seat to Labour's Tracey McLellan.

It means she'll leave Parliament, alongside prominent National MPs like Nicola Willis, Chris Bishop, Gerry Brownlee and Paul Goldsmith.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Weenink says there's a 'danger' to National's reputation following the election results.
