The reason for Seymour’s rating came through loud and clear in some savage commentary. “This divisive approach needs to end,” said one respondent, who believed he was “losing support from many of those who may have voted for him in his electorate”. A legal firm leader said “I worry they are not focusing on the biggest issues for New Zealand’s future prosperity by getting distracted by stuff that won’t shift the dial”.
Another business leader put it in even more stark terms. “If Seymour was really focused on long-term economic growth and productivity, that would be fine, but his obsession with divisive social issues that energise people on the fringes of the New Zealand political debate make him the wrong person to wear that badge.”
