Labour’s List
April 10th, 2011 at 4:50 pm by David FarrarLabour have released their 2011 party list. I’ve blogged it below, with two extra columns. The second column shows whether they are likely to win their electorate seat or not, and hence where they are on what one calls the effective list. For now the assumption is no electorate seats change hands (except Wigram goes to Labour).
The third column is what approximate level of party vote is needed for Labour for that list candidate to get elected to Parliament. This assumes that there is 5% wasted vote.
| Rank and Name | Effective Rank | Party Vote Needed |
| 1. Phil Goff | Mt Roskill | |
| 2. Annette King | Rongotai | |
| 3. David Cunliffe | New Lynn | |
| 4. David Parker | 1 | 18% |

| 48. Mea’ole Keil | 30 | 41% |
| 49. David Clark | Dunedin North | |

| 68. Carol Devoy-Heena | 49 | 56% |
| 69. Ben Clark | 50 | 57% |
| 70. Chao-Fu Wu | 51 | 58% |
Some general comments I would make:
- Sue Moroney has done very well to be the effective No 3 on the list
- Jacinda Ardern’s very high placing suggests Labour are not relying on the outcome of Auckland Central to ensure her return
- The bottom ranked list MP is junior whip Steve Chadwick.
- Only three new candidates are ranked above Caucus List MPs – Andrew Little at 15, Deborah Mahuta-Coyle at 26 and Michael Wood at 32 – two unionists and a parliamentary staffer.
- The latest poll (Roy Morgan) has Labour at 31.5%. If this was the result and the assumptions are correct, then Steve Chadwick would lose her seat, and the only new MPs would be Andrew Little and Deborah Mahuta-Coyle
- Ashraf Choudary is not on the list, so is dog tucker. Damien O’Connor also not on the list, but he is standing in a marginal seat, so may return.
- Overall Labour have not been as bold as they were in 2008 when they injected many new candidates in ahead of current MPs. Those ranked from spots 18 to 25 are all current MPs, and they could have put candidates like Kate Sutton, Jordan Carter and Josie Pagani higher into a more winnable spot - all three would do miles better than Rajen Prasad.
- It will be interesting to see what National does, and whether they place any new candidates above current caucus members. I hope they do – places should be on merit, not status quo.

A list which rewards mediocrity (with the notable exception of turfing out Choudary) and punishes effort/not being affilitated with the unionist femenist faction of the labour party.
The key isnt to look at the top 15 places – those were pretty much a given – but to look at 20-40 and see who gets where. The fact that Carmel Sepuloni, Carol Beaumont, Darien Fenton and Su’a William Sio all managed to beat Stuart Nash and David Shearer; who have actually shown evidence of lucid thought over the last 2 years is very worrying in the sense that Labour will almost certainly get back into power at some point and one would hope that at least a few people with brains would be around the cabinet table.

I hadn’t heard of Nanaia Mahuta and wondered how a newcomer warranted a placing at 12 on the list. It turns out she is a huge woman who has been in parliament for 15 years, but was so mediocre it took 10 years to gain a cabinet place with a few minor portfolios. Does she have any achievements to show for that time? Why would Labour take someone who really should be retiring after 15 years of failure and give them such a high ranking?

According to Robertson at Red Alert: “A number of journalists have commented after recent Labour Party conferences that the attendees “look like” New Zealand, and that is what we try to do with the list.” So NZ looks like a group of union officials and parliamentary staffers with probably ten times the number of gay people than in the general population?

Probably National Party supporters telling the pollsters porkies to ensure that Goff is still around in November.
Goff actually deserves a medal, in my opinion. He was one of Douglas and Prebble’s main lieutenants in the 1984-1990 Labour Government that restructured, privatised, and saved NZ’s economy. He should be thanked for that. The problem is the 21 years following that where he supported the nine wasted years of the Clark Government and been a hopeless leader of a bizarre group of unionistas, cradle to grave politicians, and activist rainbow people. If he’d retired in 1990 or joined ACT then he’d be remembered as one of the giants of NZ politics rather than as a man who dyes his hair and makes a mess of a sexual assault crisis in his ranks.

So Labour are clear that they value Parekura Horomia, Maryan Street, Su’a William Sio, Raymond Huo et al considerably more highly than they do Kelvin Davis, David Shearer, Phil Twyford, Josie Pagani and Jordan Carter (he may not be the favourite person of many here, but there’s no denying his output).
So it’s certainly not energy that gets you to the top of ther list. Or hard work. Or even intelligence.
So just what is it that makes those people more valuable to the party, and to NZ, than the others?
Might I suggest connections (to NY and elsewhere), ethnicity and compliance. And that that’s no way to run a tuck shop let alone a country.

Apart from political junkies nobody actually chooses who they vote for from the list. You can rumble on all you like but the list has very little bearing on the average voter. The average voter being someone who watches the 6:00pm news and has a bias towards what party their family has traditionally voted for.
The potential issues pertaining with the labour list have more to do with the media’s portrayal of said list than the in-depth analysis from the average punter.
Still hopefully the media gives out a full and unbiased analysis so that the average punter can make a fully informed decision come November – not that I am holding my breath.

Maybe this is wishful thinking on my part, but I think it is seriously unlikely that Labour will match its ’08 performance of 34%. I can’t remember a single poll since then where it has scored higher than this, and it has almost always been lower.
Most election campaigns boost the showing of minor parties at the majors’ expense, and there is a real danger for Labour that it will suffer as National did under Bill English in 2002 – with voters on the left streaming away to alternatives that show a bit more fizz (including, alas, Winston Peters) or just not bothering to vote.
Andrew Little (List #15), Megan Woods (Wigram) and David Clark (Dunedin N) may be the only fresh blood they get – and they may lose a few sitting MPs as well.

With ten out of your top twenty being list candidates then clearly Labour is hinging it’s future on both MMP and the list to survive.
