One could also query the (I assume not to be repeated) selection of Stephen Franks to tilt at the winnable, liberal seat of Wellington Central.

Hard News: Meanwhile in Epsom ..., in reply to Russell Brown,
Lange opposed Field's selection? A pity they wouldn't listen to him. (Also, I think the assumption that only a feudal noble social authoritarian would suit was rather insulting to an electorate that had returned Lange seven times).

a prerequisite of vanity publishing
I'm amazed at the low hurdle of notability needed for an NZ politician to get a published biography. I do wonder whether our paying almost double the overseas price for books is helping to subsidise this...
