I have no idea why, but we appear to have elected someone who likes to use his thumb. Perhaps over-use his thumb. So, i think it only right to feature the Thumb in all its glory. See if you can find a photo of young Christopher without a thumbs up. They’re rare… Don’t believe me? Read on…
And if you think I’m barking up the wrong tree, have a search for Chris Hipkins with his thumb up. Haven’t found a single one yet…
Simples! It’s because a picture is worth a thousand words
It is clear that Luxo has taken some lessons from the School of Trump. Hopefully not all of them. He certainly doesn’t seem to be a complete Dick like Donald is. But there are some similarities. Ostensibly a Christian, but never seen going to church (unlike Judith Collins). Wealthy. Money before god. He’s not a braggart or a non-stop liar, and as yet, seems friendly and not a racist or sexist, although the Cabinet looks as though it will be largely white, male, with exception of Nicola Willis, who is extremely white, but actually female. Definitely has a thing for Thumbs up. Not yet known if he has a thing for ponytails.
Related to the Christianity angle, there is also the rumour that he doesn’t believe in dinosaurs. :D

If Luxon had lost and was in Opposition, then he would be an Opposable Thumb
Robert Rodriguez saw it coming:

Also his head looks like a thumb. “Business thumb” is one of his nicknames. Not sure Christopher likes it though. Better than chapstick I guess
