Greg Presland aka Mickey Savage, the third rate flea lawyer from West Auckland is a sore and bitter loser.
The clear impression is that the sudden publicity surge behind a Shearer leadership campaign was orchestrated across the left and right wing. This is disturbing. Has New Zealand politics been reduced to a group of powerful people holding sway over different political parties and being able to exercise significant influence over them?
But what is really disturbing is that now that the job has succeeded the right wing bloggers have obviously leaked all of this information out. It has the potential to destabilize Shearer and cause divisions in the party. Clearly the only safe course for any Labour politician is to never ever think about engaging with the right wing for political advantage.
He is of course talking about Fran O’Sullivan’s out of school talk that revealed just how organised and orchestrated David Shearer’s leadership bid was.
Sure though it was obvious, to all but the most blinkered Cunliffe acolytes, that Shearer was the best leader because he passed the blink test, and that Cunliffe was like a nasty version of Kevin Rudd without Kevin’s vote winning talents?
