Dear Oh Dear Labour - You just missed the perfect opportunity to cut the greens loose.

In light of recent events surrounding Turei and the Green party, Jacinda and her colleagues missed the perfect opportunity to cut the greens loose and go it alone. My bet would be that had they done this, their ratings would have soared. Alas, common sense did not prevail here and the shambles that Labour are they could not see the wood for the trees unfortunately. They are run by a bunch of idiots and seriously had they got their act together they could have given National a good run for their money heading into the election.

It is a crying shame they have moved so far left and forgotten their roots and what they used to campaign on. They used to be the party for the masses, supporting and standing up for the hard working kiwi - now they pander to and are run by minority groups who want to push their social/marxist agenda on the rest of us. Little wonder we have had such a weak opposition to the National party this past decade when you watch them in action.
