Judith Collins, Simon Bridges, Amy Adams...the list of names gunning for the role of National leader is growing, but who actually has a chance? Today the candidates announced their intentions to run for the top job. There doesn't seem to be a clear front runner yet and the question remains whether this new leader will even see it through until 2020. Political commentator Richard Harman joins The Panel to give his analysis of the contenders.
