Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour returns for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation covering politics, personal life, and some unexpected stories along the way.

We talk about his engagement to Alexandra, the infamous haka in Parliament, the bizarre tale of “woke sushi”, and his honest takes on political allies, rivals, and regrets. From missing a deeply personal DVD his late mother left for his future partner, to why he hasn’t cried in 20 years, David shares a mix of heartfelt moments, political insight, and surprising humour.

In this episode:

• Getting engaged & wedding plans
• The haka in Parliament and how he reacted
• The “woke sushi” story
• Relationships with Chloe Swarbrick, Winston Peters & Christopher Luxon
• ACT’s influence in government
• Coalition politics behind the scenes
• Mistakes, regrets & political vulnerabilities
• His proudest moment as a local MP

Whether you follow New Zealand politics closely or just want an inside look at the personalities running the country, this is David Seymour like you’ve never heard him before.

You possibly already have a firm opinion about David Seymour. This conversation might change your mind. 

Or ii might reinforce what you already think. And both those outcomes are fine.
