Summary
National Party leader Christopher Luxon has shut the door on any future coalition talks with The Opportunity Party, calling their tax proposals unacceptable and declaring his party won’t “do business” with groups pushing for new taxes. Despite the party narrowly missing the 5% threshold to enter Parliament, Luxon’s blunt rejection sparked surprise and speculation — especially after he abruptly exited a press conference, fueling rumors he’d spoken without approval. His office later confirmed the stance, underscoring National’s clear political priorities as election day nears.
