Labour candidate called for Government to shape up or ship out

Oh dear, one of the problems of having been involved in student politics is quotes can come back to bite you. Not so bad for me as Labour were in power from 1986 to 1989, so I had fun helping lead protest marches against Phil Goff (and rude chants that rhymed) and no confidence motions in Stan Rodger.

Steady Eddy has pulled up an old quote by Labour’s Epsom candidate, Kate Sutton:

Well the Government has not shaped up by introducing universal living allowances, so presumably Kate still stands by her press release that they should ship out!
