Labour Party list - some Maori up high on the list, but not enough

Well Labour have released their party list today, interesting to see Kelvin Davis and Deb Mahuta, high up. Although it would have been nice to see some non-Labour party people on their, ie people loyal to Labour, but not Labour lifers.

I see Parekura is in the top 10, so all the rumours that he was going to retire were dead wrong here, I thought so too. I mean where else is he going to get a job, KFC spokesperson maybe??

Same as well for Nanaia Mahuta, wrong again from mainstream bloggers and news media, she has sought a spot on the list. Seriously what is up with media predictions when it comes to Maori (especially Labour) MPs, they are about as wrong as a one leggered prostitute doing the hola hoop.

  1. Kia ora,

    Parekura was only going to retire if he was not awarded a high list placing. A sort of parting fuck you. At the moment he feels rather undervalued which is understandable given his demotion.

    Nanaia, if i recall correctly, said herself that she did not intend to seek a place on the list. I guess she is beginning to doubt her hold on Hauraki-Waikato. In my opinion she did not merit such a high list placing.
