Hipkins Lacks Empathy
The problem with PM Chris Hipkins is he has difficulties being comfortable around strangers, talking small talk and being relatable. This assessment came from a leading political commentator.
In contrast National Party leader, Chris Luxon has no issues in this regard and is more along the lines in acting personable as a John Key or Jacinda Ardern.
I first saw Hipkins in person some 12 years ago just before a general election when he brushed past me and my Corgi, Taylor when we were fortnightly meet-the-residents visitors at the Heretaunga Retirement & Rest Home.
He was campaigning but ignored me and Taylor as if we were both not potential voters and it was an everyday thing to see a Corgi in the lounge of such a place.
Whilst Hipkins won't be mainly responsible for Labour losing quiet soundly in the 2023 elections, his awkwardness and inability to resonate with people individually is a handicap.
