Luxon far from joining legion of strong leaders

Opinion: Ever since the days of “King Dick” Richard John Seddon, New Zealanders have been used to strong leaders.
They have come in many forms. There have been authoritarian leaders, such as Peter Fraser, larger-than-life figures such as Norman Kirk and David Lange, internationally respected leaders such as Dame Jacinda Ardern, or downright demagogic and threatening ones such as Sir Robert Muldoon. Others – Sid Holland, Sir Keith Holyoake, Helen Clark and Sir John Key – have dominated because they were wily political operators, better than most of their contemporaries.
