The 2017 election is approaching fast and I sense much nervousness amongst the left. Recent poll results do not help. It is clear that that Labour took a hit following Metiria Turei's true confessions a couple of weeks ago. Personally I agree with the reasons…

It's a busy news day, so... Government axes Lifeline contract. Yes, we still top the western world on youth suicide. We still have regular stories like this today. So what does the Government do? Cancel the money that Lifeline uses to train thousands in suicide…

Unlike lprent I am not discouraged by Little stepping down. Andrew Little, good man. He did a lot of good for the Labour Party, and would have made an excellent PM. Many thanks to him. But whatever Labour was doing wasn’t working. Little doomed himself…
