Well of course not. Just look at the rigging of the selection in Mt Albert so Phil Goff’s chosen candidate could parachute in from Amman and the current gerry-mandering and reverse selection going on in Te Atatu.
Now it appears Phil Goff is hijacking another selection to ensure Kris Faafoi from his own office gains selection.
Fran Mold has today quit as Deputy Political Editor for TVNZ, according to well placed sources.
The reason is an agreement in principle that she will replace Kris Faafoi as Chief Press Secretary to Phil Goff.
The hirsute Fran Mold, best remembered for shrieking her way through Labour Party supplied lines at Don Brash seems set to replace Faafoi in Goff’s office, at least confirming where her political inclinations lie.
Serious questions remain though over the democratic principles, if any, that underpin Labour Party selections.
