Political mismanagement

reports:

David was unceremoniously stripped of his – and he faced further ignominy last week when the Labour Party replaced him on a parliamentary trust.

In an incident described by a witness as “humiliating”, Mr Cunliffe arrived at a meeting of the Business and Parliament Trust on Wednesday to find fellow MP David Parker in his place.

A staffer from the office of leader David Shearer decided to replace the New Lynn MP after his front-bench demotion – but no-one thought to tell Mr Cunliffe.

tells you a lot about the current state of .

  1. Staffers in Labour decide which MPs sit on which committees or
  2. They didn't even inform their Leader of their decisions
  3. They didn't think they should even inform the MP they were sacking from the trust, that he had been sacked

It is going to be fascinating to observe them trying to run a country, should they win the election.
