David's second act - 'I'D BE THE PERFECT HUSBAND!'

THE POLITICIAN WANTS TO BE A PARTY OF TWO

- Karyn Henger 

He’s still on a high from his 2020 successes – the End of Life Choice Act was given the nod in the referendum and the ACT Party increased its influence with nine new MPs. But David Seymour says he’d give up politics in a heartbeat for the love of a good woman and the chance to start a family.

“We all hope to find a real connection and while I’ve been lucky to have dated some extremely brilliant and beautiful women, being effectively married to Parliament gets in the way a bit,” the 37-year-old tells the Weekly.

“If there was a magic wand that replaced politics with family, I’d wave it. If there’s no fairytale, I guess I’ll just have to hustle. In fact, if I could put out an ad for myself, I’d say I’d make a great stay-at-home dad because I don’t feel the need to prove myself. I made a career that I’m proud of early on and I would happily stay home to look after the children.”

David adds – just in case there are any interested parties – that he’s a good cook, likes animals and is a great communicator. He once built a sports car from scratch.

“And I was a Kidsliner, volunteering as a telephone counsellor for children when I was younger,” he reveals. “One of the main things they taught us was listening skills.”
