Time to get some younger MPs in there.

The alternative is that Labour would get those seats back, as long as the seats still exist of course. I have come to believe that a maori party is a good idea .. wtf I hear you say.

They can't pick a candidate and give them a high list placing to ensure they will be there. Nor can they jack-up retirements of list MPs to get a leader from outside Parliament parachuted in.
