Key’s loose government

Over the weekend r0b reckoned the shambles of the Key government would start to really hurt. I was sceptical.

Winning the next election for the left is going to bloody hard.

But Key’s cracks are showing. As the ever thoughtful Colin James noted in his Dom Post column this morning (currently offline):

Too many distractions and slips eventually become a defining characteristic. That is the spectre for Mr Key’s loose government and most unusual three-way shackup. To keep his three-legged runners synchronised will need tough-minded management, sooner rather than later

That is the real issue with Mr Harawira. It’s a Key issue.

Colin James is right. Key’s management is loose and ineffective. He’s a flake.

And if Labour and the Greens grab this flake by the neck, then r0b’s right. We’ve got a bloody good chance.
