  • Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe,

    Consulted the Tarot. She foresaw Cunliffe going 'Aguirre' and floating his own raft. What a salvo that would be; more ivy rash for Don Key and Joyce to scratch and an instant 20-25% boost for Labour.

  • Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe,

    Speaking of '25% parties', the Nats without Key are surely level pegging with Labour, and I can't imagine a substantial coalition deal falling to the RHS anytime soon... Most of Key's coterie have been stood down and reinstated over the last 6 years. Sans Key, this must entail a sizeable PR investment to transform Joyce or DP-Bennett in the eyes of the zombie majority (Key himself probably would be among the 'stood downs' if he didn't have fall guys...)

  • Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe,

    Shared leadership has been great for the greens. Bearing in mind all the failed mutineers and their post labour parties over the last thirty years, and that we're not likely to see another Norm Kirk any time soon, I'd prefer if Shearer and Ardern were to make a go of steering the Labour ship, together.
