Is the Prime Minister fed up with his coalition partners?
Christopher Luxon told Kerre Woodham yesterday he's open to another vote on MMP, if re-elected.
The system allows more representation in Parliament for smaller parties and was upheld in a 2011 referendum.
Political commentator and former Cabinet Minister Peter Dunne told Mike Hosking Luxon's clearly frustrated.
Dunne says he thought he'd be leading a strong National government, supported by others, instead of the three-way coalition he signed up for.
Luxon’s also being described as having loose lips.
Dunne told Hosking he’s let a lot of comments slip recently appearing to just blurt things out and mop up afterwards – including abruptly ruling out working with the Opportunity Party.
