Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has copped a barrage of online ridicule after taking to the stage and dancing during India Day celebrations.
India Day is celebrated by Indians worldwide on 17 August to commemorate the country’s freedom from 200 years of British colonial rule.
Footage shows Luxon swaying and stepping along in a zany fashion to the music, with former PM Chris Hipkins standing in the background as the crowd watched on.
Critics accused the PM of “dancing like a gimp” while New Zealand “slowly loses its independence.” Popular X user Holyhekatuiteka slammed the moment as proof the country was “surrounded by totally clowned dropkicks” and declared: “We are lost.”
This is our Prime Minister tonight.

Perfidious Albion still rules from out of City of London Corporation but is in its death throes. Luxon and co have thrown the floodgates open wide to India (Kalergi plan) and they are flooding in.
Aristotle nailed it cold, like a Spartan spear through Persian flesh: “It’s the habit of tyrants to prefer the company of aliens. Citizens they feel are enemies, but aliens will offer no opposition.” That line echoes across the narrow pass of history, cutting deep into today’s mess of borders, bucks, and broken communities. Tyrants—landlords and city hall hacks, puffed up like Xerxes on his golden throne—play the same old trick. They shove out locals for outsiders, holding the line for the steady drip of taxpayer-extorted cash. No mercy, just math, as relentless as the Persian hordes crashing against the Hot Gates. Aristotle saw the scam, clear as the epitaph at Thermopylae: obey the laws and be enslaved, or disobey the laws and maybe die fighting. Today’s tyrants run it smoother, hidden in policy papers and diversity slogans, in clever welfare transfer payments, and wall street stock bumps. The pass is still narrow, the stand eternal. Break the cycle: spotlight the thieves, demand citizen-first rules. No opposition means no freedom. Fight back, or watch it all slip away into a night no Persian king ever dreamed possible.

You write better than any of our journalists by far, bravo!
What an absolute tosser!
The gimp is channelling his inner Justin Trudeau.
But there are so many reasons already why this loser should be mocked. He’s a globalist puppet. Quite happy to pretend to celebrate freedom for india but seriously willing to sell nz out to the globaslist nightmare to come, which will end freedom for all in this country.
Did you all miss Chippy there in the background??? They’re both globalist shills.
NZ political ‘Minions’ who are completely out of place and out of touch in all that they do!
