HDPA notes:
So why don’t we like him?
I suspect it’s because voters aren’t quite as dumb as politicians assume, when they think a quick switcharoo at the top changes a party’s fortunes.
I suspect it’s because voters haven’t forgotten the stuff that frustrated them about Labour.
They gave Chippy a chance, but they haven’t seen him prove that his Labour is all that different.
Tell you what, Labour should be worried about that.
This spells trouble for them because Chippy is the only asset they’ve got.
They’ve got rubbish policies, they’ve got a rubbish track record in the last 5.5 years, they’ve got rubbish ministers, and they’ve got rubbish coalition partners.
So the only thing they had going for them is a leader that was more popular than the leader of the National Party.
Well, that’s not true anymore.
The gap between them about ten weeks ago was 16%, the gap now is 7%.
Unless he can lift his popularity, Labour might’ve just lost its last best hope.
Rubbish policies, rubbish track record, rubbish ministers and rubbish coalition partners – sums it uo nicely.
