Labour probably know too well already that Nosey Parker is no better than the useless
sidekick holding crayons out of sight .. How many warnings and removed out back under
a muzzle has this dopey numbskull already received on his recent antics ?

The idea that either Luxon or Hipkins would get rolled at this stage, a couple of months from the election with both parties roughly even in the polls, is absurd, pure fantasy.
If Luxon loses, can't see him wanting to stay & like several of his MP's they will not hang around for another 3 years in opposition, & Willis is ambitious for the top job.
If Hipkins loses, I can't see him wanting to quit or being challenged for leader.

You're probably right with both those predictions.

I think you're right about both, as FP says. Luxon should go if he fails to form a Government after the October election and so should a good chunk of the front bench. Let Erica Stanford and Nicola Willis take over but the crazy fact is that the wokeness and sensitivity we have now in our society is such that they would probably not dare to run with two white women, both from big cities, in the 2 top Leadership positions.
However, the fact that you (and I) believe Hipkins would like to hang on even after being rejected by voters, says a lot about him and how desperate he is. After all he has no skill or experience outside of politics.
For the record, I'm disappointed in National not having Erica Stanford higher ranked but believe she would make an outstanding Education Minister in the next Government. She has put the hard opposition work in and is on top of the issues in my view. She's ready to run with the portfolio.

If Hipkins loses you can’t see him being challenged for leader??
What a bizarre comment.

Agree re Stanford she seems one of the better Nat candidates.

Blue Skies seeming to admit that Chipkins is ‘as good as it gets’ in the parliamentary Labour party: there is simply nobody with charisma, talent, and ambition to challenge him in the event that he loses the election.

David Parker reckons he has what it takes to be leader. Robbo and he will do the knifing of Hipkins to get Labour back on track - CGT, wealth tax, income insurance, more centralisation, more big spending on welfare and more delivery to Maoris.

Parker is about as charismatic and talented as a plank of wood.
