He might have the 'it' factor, but does have the 'ideological/ethical values' factor? Or does he want to turn Labour into a watered down version of National? Beware of 'cool' prime ministers, just look at how loathed Tony Blair is now.

+1 Barfly, Hami and Colonial Viper! Plus my entire family!
Thank you Word - we need to make sure the MSM understands this, because at the moment they are still singing the line that caucus doesn't want Cunliffe. Who cares?! The members do!
+100 Leftie! Time to let the Caucus know who the Labour Party belongs to - the members, not them.
I totally agree Chooky. Uni isn't for everyone, and I'd be fairly reluctant to do it myself these days if it meant coming out with a $50,000 debt, unless I was planning to go into a very high-paying career - which is not necessarily where my talents or ...
That's rather harsh KJT. When it comes to social deprivation, are you saying that some people are more worthy of assistance than others? Even if they're both stuck in exactly the same shitty living circumstances? Why exactly are you so hostile towards ...
+1 Shona. Paint watches Grant dry.
+100 Mark The members are not stupid.
Please do enlighten us on how he has embarrassed Labour? I haven't seen or heard anything that has particularly bothered me - I even know a few National supporters who feel he's been treated shabbily by his colleagues. He did a great job during the ...
+100 Hami. To paraphrase Apples, Grant isn't a tenable leader. Now the people who worship him do need to figure whether they can move-on and how. I'd rather vote Greens or NZ First than vote for a party led by Grant.
The swing against Labour started in 2011 Apples, not in 2014 - it's an overall downward trend that reflects that the Labour Party as a WHOLE is out of touch with voters. All of the caucus agreed on the policies did they not? It's the policies that lost the...
The members predominantly want Cunliffe. We think the caucus needs cleaning out anyway.
+100 AmaKiwi Grant supporters live in this fantasy land where no-one in the public has any unfair prejudices, and you get two hours to explain your main points to the media. He doesn't even perform very well during Question Time when he's under pressure. ...
Oddly, it seems to me that a lot of the support for Jacinda coming from men - particularly men who voted for National - actually IS sexist, based on her good looks and very little else. She didn't win her electorate, so it's far too soon to be talking ...
I reckon dead rats have more charisma Mark. At least I have strong feelings about rats, a bit like Marmite. Grant has all the charisma of laundry soap - bland and unmemorable, but he promises to be 'fresh and squeaky clean'. Likeable? Nah, I'm not keen on ...
I used to have dealings with David Cunliffe through my job in a previous life, over a decade ago, which is why I was keen to sign up for the Labour Party when he finally had a shot at the leadership. Way back then, it was obvious that he was a prime-...
