Grant Robertson gets three times as many votes as Andrew Little from the
caucus, and he gets well over a third of the
members vote while Little manages only a quarter.
The
unions give Little three times more votes than Robertson but the unions are only
half as important as either the caucus or the members.
If this were a logic problem and you were asked to deduce the winner from the above information what would the answer be?
As much as we love gays because they are the same / different we really want a heterosexual Robertson rather than a time trapped shop steward.
ReplyDeleteLabour is like a mythical beast - you can't quite kill it because you can't chop off the head when it doesn't really have a head.

The unions, because they pay the pipe & call the tune.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Little won because he comes across as a pretty unlikeable guy. It gives the Nats lots of ammo for a "unions control Labour" campaign too.
ReplyDeleteI can't see Little winning over Chris Trotter's "Waitakere Man".
Hard to see him making any headway at all.
