So DPF’s given his predictable take on this year’s Trans-Tasman MP rankings (PDF – 150K).
Now averages are one thing but more interesting is a trend that DPF conveniently ignores – While many of National’s high profile MPs are static or slipping in the rankings, Labour’s heavy-hitters seem to be lifting their game.
LABOUR
Clark is up 0.5
Cullen is up 0.5
Goff is up 0.5
King is up 0.5
Parker is up 0.5
NATIONAL
English is static
Finlayson is static
Grosser is static
Key is static
Rich is static
Ryall drops 1
Smith drops 0.5
Granted, it’s not a complete list but the impression you could be left with is that while Labour’s top MPs are working hard to lift their game after a tough year, National’s MPs are still content to sit back and cruise.
By Key’s own admission, the Nats have – on more than one occasion recently – failed to meet the standards they should have.
Apparently the editors at Trans-Tasman agree.
