See when Goff was defeated it was a bit like the English defeat but in stark contrast after that the heroic Nats pulled themselves together and immediately started looking like the superb in control team of winners that they actually always were and are.
Labour however continue to display themselves like a team of untrained circus animals as they lurch from unelectable leader to unelectable leader, with the third unelectable leader waiting in the wings just raring to drive the team to yet another crashing defeat as the curse of Hulun continues to play itself out in an appalling display of her terrible destructive power, even when she’s not even there, anymore.
The Membership won. Those in Job Protection Mode, the HO staff, the Parliamenttary Services clique, the List MPs, the past-sell-by-date crowd lost.
Anyone who takes a helicopter view sees that this is a war between the old-guard conservatives and a new-generation of more relevant and progressive members.
Robertson sees it and is sh*t scared.
Cunliffe see it and is giving it a voice. And Cunliffe owes no favours.

It’s not as simple as that. From what I can see the ‘new-generation of more relevant and progressive members’ is dominated by old-guard activists wanting to return to conservative Labour values and conservative union domination.
(Even) more than usual @SteveBraunias is devastatingly hilarious in a Cunliffe of a Diary. He thanked the Timaru Herald for allowing the punchline (the final one).
Hmmm, well, ummm, ahhh, grrr – You can’t prevent me becoming the PM in 2014 any way! Long live MMP and our unholy alliance with Greens. NZ First and Mana!
