OPINION: My fellow Stuff columnist Damien Grant last week wrote he couldn’t work out what new National leader Judith Collins stood for. The party which has been in power for much of my adult life is having an identity crisis. Then National’s team started to fall apart, losing that crucial image of being a viable alternative government waiting in the wings. These gaps could be plugged by an inspirational leader and Judith Collins may be that person but doesn’t look the part yet. National’s ailments are also bad for democracy in another way.
