This open letter from James is heartfelt; but rings for me the ongoing alarm bells that resonate throughout NZ regarding the NZ Labour Party. This election only proved Its inability to effectively engage with majority of New Zealand voters. These ongoing internal issues that are put out there for the Public to see only reinforce a vision of a deeply divided and fractious Party that seems somehow stuck somewhere in the 20th century. John Armstrong's column in Saturday's Herald hits the many nails on the head better than I ever could. Best the Labour Party stops the ongoing public bickering and focus on a vision and strategy that can engage. An exciting opportunity I would have thought?
