I’d forgotten how bad Clark could be

Luckily we have an interview with Tracy Watkins to remind us:

Eight months on from Labour's election loss, former Helen Clark has no regrets and she rejects suggestions that Labour alienated voters by pushing through measures such as the child discipline bill.

Clark is still unable to accept she ever did anything wrong. Her valedictory speech to Parliament sounded like a triumph speech, where her getting thrown out of office was just some sort of mistake by the voters.

Now in New York as head of the United Nations Development Programme, Miss Clark has also revealed unease at the 's direction on and says its scrapping of her flagship sustainability agenda was motivated by sheer vindictiveness.

As said, I'd forgotten how nasty Clark could be. My God – she thinks it is all about her. And yes nasty vindictive Government that fully supported her campaign for the UN job, and appointed to an SOE.
