OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to
Whoever wins the leadership battle, I hope like he'll it is because Labour MPs think that's the person who can win the next election, not because it's a mate or there's a promise of a plum job. Another 2 terms of National would really hurt the country.

It has been infuriating the last couple of years watching putative leaders put preserving their positions ahead of the interests of those they supposedly serve - and who pay them to do so.
But I merely care about the state of the Nation. Not just the Party.

Given that he had the numbers, the responsibility for not being able to come up with them in the Christchurch debate rests with him.
I very much doubt that the decision about timing of the release was Goff's despite what Cunliffe might say to the media about it.
Mallard is likely to be the culprit, as with so much of their other strategic muppetry. And unless I've missed him publically stepping down to a backbench position, shuffling the deckchairs won't make enough difference. The new Labour leader should insist on some quick resignations to get better candidates like Nash or Davis back in off the list. Not holding my breath.
