Labour’s leadership battle

by Whaleoil on November 30, 2011

The tipline is running very hot with all sorts of information about the various factions inside labour and the battles, loyalties and muck-raking going on.

Already David Cunliffe is moaning about muck-raking:

“I think there might have been a little bit of spiking of the guns by someone, I’m not accusing my colleagues here, but people put tags around for their own reasons and I’m not going to responding in kind to that.

“I know that I’ve got lots of good relationships and I’ve built a really, really strong team in my own electorate, and I think that speaks for itself.”

He really should go have a chat to Annette King and with Goff’s staffers about that, they are spending a lot of time besmirching Cunliffe’s good name to anyone who will listen. I think it is retribution for their perception that Cunliffe set up Goff in the now infamous “Show me the Money” debate.

Keep sending in the tips. It takes time to sort through them all and verify and cross check but I will get to them.

    Gawd….. “moaning about muck-raking.” HTFU Cunners.

    The MSM’s obsession with the Labour Party is starting to get pretty odious. John Key won the election but all the media is going on about are these Labour idiots that are vying to be the “next prime minister”.

    Guess what. Whichever of these morons takes the poisoned chalice still has to beat John Key which I don’t see happening but no-one in the MSM seems to be able to get this through their thick skulls.

    It’s really pissing me off. Cuntlips can fuck off, Pooper Parker can fuck off too. Shearer is the only decent one but he’s more suited to National than Labour so he has a shit show’s chance and might as well resign now.

      I don’t  trust Shearer. Too close to the UN for my liking. Are the Helens pulling his strings? No recent labour history. Protege of Banh Ki Mun. Leaves the UN & presented with Mt Albert on a plate. It’s all too pat.

    By “tags” does he mean tags such as “Silent T?”

  • Rightoverlabour

    Please let it be Silent T. National will rule until the next millennium. Actually labour should split up into a group of minor parties –  labour union, labour gayles, and labour socialist. Decent MPs such as Damien O’Connor, Jacinda Arderne, Josi Pagani etc should head the socialist party and keep important social issues alive (rather than the Greens – who attract too many lunatics). The gay-les and union brigade can go an eff themselves as they serve no one in particular except their sycophantic followers.

    I’m wondering now if the Cunliffe camp leaked details of Goff’s unpreparedness to Key prior to the Christchurch debate?

  • Dion

    Indeed.  Phil Goff was left stammering and fumbling over Cunliffe’s portfolio – and this was the turning point in a campaign that got Labour 27% of the vote and lost them a number of good MPs.  He should be resigning, not becoming leader.
