Who will be the next Labour leader?

[eri]

she didn't; earn - deserve - want a prominent role before

some would say she still hasn't

we'll be finding out

1 way or the other

Well she's a shoe in to last to at least the next election. She'll be forgiven for losing this one as she only just got in so she has a few years to try to prove herself now.

Maybe the revolving door of Labour leaders over the years, witnessed in this very thread, should tell us that maybe it isn't the leader that's the problem?

[Perry]

But the leader gets the blame. Like the coach does after a lost rugby game.

It's never the team's fault - on the field or the hustings.

The Jacindamania effect has caught me by surprise.
I never thought being photogenic was enough to capture anyones vote.
Maybe this week a reporter might ask her a question about, say, the economy or a capital gains tax.

[Bobsyouruncle]

Not until we know the really important answers, like what brand of shampoo she uses.

[Bob Kane]

How often does she floss?

Yes, which is why the leader is changed. If the leader comes with new ideas or a new direction, or new tactics, things can be turned around.

But sometimes, no matter how good the new coach is (cough-warriors-cough), it isn't the coach that is the problem.

Yeah, if/when she loses, she'll be safe in her job. For about 6 months to a year. Then the knives will come out.

Jacinda all over the 6pm news again - with her hair tied back in a severe ponytail.
(did anyone notice how large her ears are?)

How did Billy have his hair done?

[Bobsyouruncle]

What was she wearing?

[Bob Kane]

dunno
I couldn't get past the ears.

[Bob Kane]

Golden locks like a gladiator.
Thanks for asking.

[Bob Kane]

6pm news tonight: the ponytail has gone and voluminous hair is everywhere.
She looks gorgeous.
