A logic problem for you



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.

Labour 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.

I'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.

I can't see Little winning over Chris Trotter's "Waitakere Man".
Hard to see him making any headway at all.
