http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=11763823 Labour's problem is profound, they are living in the past and remember the halcyon days when the country was predominantly "working men" and their families. The era when unions had far too much say in politics (they still do of course but at least their grip is much looser). I have never been anti Labour and those like Rich assume that we all have a political agenda or preference, well they are plain wrong. I have always supported the right of people to belong to a union but hate compulsory unionism with a passion - having refused to toe that line in earlier years despite being threatened with non-specific "consequences".

Labour are completely out of touch with the people of this country and the only way they will get back in to power is if the elected government screws up or simple complacency. I predict that Labour will fail at the next election and they will do so because they are incompetent. They are into character assassination as Rich demonstrates weekly.
I hope for a strong opposition and hope also that there will not be a government elected that can govern without assistance from at least one other party.
Apparently I am a troll, and that is an honour that Rich bestows on anyone that calls him out for his lies and deliberately wrong accusations against individuals.
Losing John Key will definitely help Labour but they are so far behind it is unlikely to be by the next election.
