Show Notes
The Green's new co-leadership could look different under Chloe Swarbrick.
The Auckland Central MP has won the race to replace James Shaw, and will lead the party alongside Marama Davidson.
Former Greens MP Gareth Hughes says Swarbrick's assertive approach to politics is a contrast from Shaw.
But he told Mike Hosking that people are looking for passion and authenticity in politics - and some will be drawn to her values.
Hughes says people wrote her off in Auckland Central but she won overwhelmingly - so she's someone who's able to reach across and attract voters.
