The divide between the right and left continues to grow heading into the election.\xa0

The latest 1 News Verian poll shows Christopher Luxon and Chris Hipkins are neck-and-neck in the preferred prime minister rankings: both on 23%.\xa0

But the right bloc is on 49%, well ahead of the left bloc on 41%.\xa0

Put to him that they had "less than no money" to run a country, Luxon said: "Yep. We're going to have a really tough and difficult country. But National governments always have to come in and clean up a mess left behind by Labour. We'll have to do the same, I think, here again."\xa0

He told Mike Hosking that the country can\u2019t afford another term of a Labour-led government.\xa0
