Everyone’s favourite libertarian authoritarian returns with a hard-hitting column I don’t watch a lot of Parliament TV, because I find my days are full enough as it is. It’s all too easy to lose oneself for up to half a day browsing through the Solo Passion site, so what I don’t need are more distractions.…
I thought I’d take a look at who might form the eighth Labour government, because it’s always interesting to speculate on our future leaders. The next Labour government will be the sixth, so the eighth is a few years away. Possibly 20 or 30 years away. But already we are seeing the emergence of some…
The media is awash with articles and commentary on what Labour leader David Shearer should do next. Other bloggers and commentators have been quick to express their views on how the Labour leader needs to behave, and which direction he needs to take the party in. Commentators seem obsessed with the notion that Shearer must anchor…

It’s a good reminder that someone should not publicly mock a political party only a couple of months before joining it. Oh well…) Labour Looks To The Dead 29 March 2011 Labour leader Phil Goff was under…
David Shearer has moved ahead in the race for the Labour Party leadership, after a number of prominent figures endorsed his candidacy. Shearer received a critical endorsement yesterday, when political commentator and National Party member David Farrar declared that Shearer would be a better choice for the party. And the prospects of Shearer’s rival David…
Hard-hitting left-wing columnist and Chairman of the Workers Solidarity Party of Aotearoa, Bob Mittsky, returns with a new post on the plight of Labour. Most of you who follow my work will be aware that I campaigned actively for the Mana Party during the election campaign. Sadly, I came to the realisation that the party…
