Self-reinvention is a way to stay young, as long as you can remember what you were.

I recall being an author, journalist, photographer, truffle grower, climate change writer, magazine editor and publisher, but who can be sure?

Same is true for most gigs by the Sex Pistols...

Not the first National leader to demonstrate that!

Exactly. But I suspect he leans ACT-wards, as does much of his caucus.

Slot's problem is that he doesn't know how to get the best out of an outrageously talented team. Luxon has a crap team and no idea how to get them playing well.

If he'd been smart, he'd have signed a deal with Winston giving the cookers a few wins, and left Seymour dangling - as Clark did with the Greens.

Instead, he gave ACT and Winston everything they wanted, and basically broke MMP by allowing tiny parties to dominate the policy agenda.
