Wishful Thinking?
Poor Labour Head Office had a rough day with three versions of the list being published, as resorting tables in excel produced some errors.
The first list has Judith Tizard ranked as 1st equal. Either they are very worried about Auckland Central or they are taking being Helen’s helper too literally!
The second list had List MP Lesley Soper at Number 77!! I knew she was unpopular, but my God that was brutal I thought. Luckily for her, it was a typo.

And as I reported over at No Minister, Liarbour has no idea who Britain’s Home Secretary is.

Must be a disfunctional Govt if they can’t even number from 1-77 without stuffing it up

“Luckily for her, it was a typo.” So, you see Soper getting in at #44 do you?
August 31st, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Yeah, I wondered why there were two MPs listed as 74,two listed as 77, and two listed as 78 and Leslie Soper, sitting MP at third to bottom of the list.
Can’t Labour do lists of numbers and have MPs alongside different numbers in rank order? After all, this is ummm.. a list. But well done Lesley Soper getting promoted to 44, Jordan Carter went up one too, he`ll be pleased. Hes at 70 now.

Lesley Soper’s Maiden Speech: I stand here as a proud Southern woman, a feminist, a socialist and a trade unionist, committed to Labour Principles and values
Odd that she’s been demoted… she appears to have all the right credentials – socialism, feminism, committed to power & dishonesty etc. What could she be missing? Hmmm.. perhaps she’s straight

I can hear the gnashing of teeth from a whole bunch of Labour MPs who must be wondering what the hell they did wrong. Answer …. clearly Helen has more loyalty to Winston Peters than she has to her own. Going to be an interesting caucus room on Tuesday when someone queries the fact that Helen knew about the Winston donation scandal all that time ago.
I mean when you’re on the way out what have you to loose?

It seems that working in dear corrupt leaders office (for a pittance) pays off in the end as you are rewarded with a guarantee of a seat in the house.
What will interest me is the part list for the next election, by that time Clark will be gone (her exit will be a blood bath as every single person she has shit on or stepped over kicks the crap out of her)
I assume Goff will be the new leader and I can imagine he will want to purge the party of each and every one of Clark’s cronies.

Yes bruv – I think that there are some in NZLP who would dearly like to lose the next election. Surely the rest of the party must feel like mushrooms under the present regime. Imagine waking up to the news that your boss had been sitting on the Winnie info since frikkin February! She seems to have a talent for making her closest allies look like prize pricks.

The thing that gets me Lee is that not one of the Labour party bastards has come out and said “hang on a minute here Helen, this is not right” or “don’t you think you should be considering your position Prime Minister given you have had full knowledge of this lie for the last eight months”
Of course once she is gone or when the wankers write their autobiographies they will ALL claim that they and they alone were most uncomfortable about the goings on etc…
I guess when it comes down to it the Labour MP’s just cannot bring themselves to give up the best paid job they have every had or are likely to ever have, they are ALL as corrupt as Clark.

They changed that lickety split, didn’t they!

Seems like a pretty good live auction they’ve got going over there on the 9th floor.
I understand the fishing industry has got Winston up to No 3.

convicted radical “They changed that lickety split, didn’t they!’ please we do not need that much information, however to see the demise of the Auckland Central handbag would be a moment worth salviating for

And they have that blowhard useless oxygen thief Horima at #5, Labour must be in trouble. Heh, and they are asking Owen Glenn for yet more money, heh, flat-assed broke too. Nice. Laughing out loud now. Drunk, confused, can’t tell one Moari from another? Is that the sound of a cheque-book snapping shut. Hope so.

Judith Tizard and Hels both out of office in less than six months.
Is this the twilight zone or the march of history.
Either way I like it.

Who is Tizard more scared of? Obviously Nikki Kaye is someone to keep an eye on, but Auckland Central could be one of the most hotly contested electorates in this year’s election. I’m picking a vote-splitting dark horse to take the seat, and there’s one I wouldn’t rule out. Auckland Central is going to be a fierce battle ground, mark my words; there will be a lot of bad blood spilt between Labour and the Nats. Seems like the door is wide open for a well-run 3rd party campaign to sneak in.

A pathetic list in comparison to National. How many people have ever employed people in that Labor list ? How many have taken a risk ? How many are out from fighting the class war ? Few if any.
To get rids of toads and patsy question answerers like Choudary(perhaps not)Lynne Pillay(What a wally !)Moana Mackay(The leader of the pack in patsy’s)Charles Chauvel,Lesley Soper(Unpopular in home turf and leading patsyist)Russell Fairbrother,Martin Gallagher will be great. They offer nothing.
HC has been a great servant of Labour in the past but her future legacy will be like arsenic.
