Shearer backed by VRWC, Ctd

via the tipline

I have just had it confirmed that John Tamihere was present at corporate whore and political svengali Matthew Hooton’s house for the plotting to support his Manchurian Candidate. That makes every media commentator and political observer who was at Hooton’s party 100% behind David Shearer before he even put his name forward.

John Tamihere has an article in the Sunday News…backing Shearer. He even says he will re-join Labour if Shearer is the leader. Every dot connects now.

I do have one correction though. It wasn’t a BBQ it was fully tax deductible catered corporate fare complete with NBR supplied Veuve Clicquot champagne.

    Watched Tamihere on TVNZ today he was with two others,one was Union Kelly the other guy looked like a leprechaurn.Seemed i watched him before on TVNZ leaders debate ,when at the end he tried to influence voters on the referendum.not to vote SM.Tamihere anointed Shearer as the next leader of the losers party.The gnome,seems i was insulting the Leprechaurns,just mumbled dribble.Union Kelly using all her fence sitting stance ,said too close to call.Seemed she was keeping her options open if and when she would once more introduce her 1970s back to the past industrial relations policy.Saw Tamiheres face contort when he heard her waffle.If Tamihere ever rejoins the losers party hope in the future he gets industrial relations and has to deal with union Kelly.Ps of the Two candidates ,both of them looked as useless as an ashtray in a wind tunnel.

    Let me get this straight. Whale, you are trying to promote a premice that the NBR is trying to stitch up the leadership of the Labour Party. The who notion of this all seems a little far fetched for me. Secretely, I think this blog actually want Silient T to be leader by associating Shearer with members of the VRWC so that his support within caucus will collapse. 

    The ultimate aim for this blog is for Labour to continue with the old guard and once again fail to progress. If the VRWC favours one candidate, we know that Labour will will favour the other.

      A ha – but then again the VRWC might be playing a double bluff – secretly wanting Cunliffe to win so they promote Shearer in order to get Labour to do the opposite.

      Or they could playing a triple bluff as the VRWC think that Labour will see through a double bluff and so want to secretly see Shearer in but think the best way to do this is to promote Shearer thus making Labourites vote for Shearer as they think that secretly that the VRWC want Cunliffe to be leader.

      Or……..they could be playing a deeper, more cunning plan where the VRWC promote both candidates (Farrar -Shearer & Whale-Cunliffe) thus confusing the average Labourite as to the VRWC’s sneaky plans and promoting suspicion and mistrust towards both candidates and thus allowing an unnamed third party to become leader (Mallard springs to mind)

      So if I was a real labour conspiracy nut I would see a deliberate campaign by Mallard and the Whale to help Mallard to be the next leader – this was planned deap under cover under the pre text of organising a bike race earlier this year – then Mallard worked himself into the position of campaign manager for Labour and deliberately sabotaged it so a leadership challenge would arise.

      The ongoing sledging between the Whale & Mallard is further evidence of this collaboration as a public disguise for their cunning plans.

      So the only real answer for Labour’s leadership question: 

      1 Kick Mallard out of Labour all together.

      2 Throw a real curve ball and go with no Leader for the next 3 years.

      Think – there will be no rumours about leadership coups’, no chance of losing leadership debates (no leaders = no debates), no questions about no leaders mugshots on bill boards.

      If the media question the merits of this the correct answer would be: We are all leaders, everyone in Labour is a leader, we will share a joint Prime Minstership when we get elected, and we will all share a joint leader’s office payments – in fact when we become the government, we will all get our own PM’s salary and BMW. I mean who loses out of this plan? Take that you scummy sceaming VRWC’s – you’re going down!

    If Cunliffe gets in……will be the same old dirty politics of Clarke & Co….this will only play into J.Ks hand, think the other guy would be a more even bet!

    Shearer may not be up to the job in a way many of us may have thought. He’s looking a bit shaky  and the cracks are beginning to show.  Better now, than later, perhaps, but Cunliffe’s still worse.  The lack of depth appears terminal. What do you do when nobody’s any good?  Remain a useless Opposition, lose main party status then disband?  I’m seriously thinking that we might be experiencing the beginning of demise of the Labour Party. Giving the job to Cunliffe certainly won’t help matters, but at the moment that’s where things look like they’re heading.  And it won’t be a bad thing…even for Labour supporters.

      “The lack of depth appears terminal.”

      Spot on Rosie. They could do with Darren Hughes right now. Jeez, he must be kicking himself wherever he is.

    Shearer did a shocking job on Q&A this morning.  Cunliffe was running circles around him.  He is going to have to serious lift his game if he thinks he can take on Key.
