Chris Trotter On Nandor's Future
Chris Trotter in today's Otago Daily Times and Dominion Post writes about the rumoured early exit from Parliament by Nandor Tanczos (to allow Green co-leader Russel Norman) a seat in parliament and therefore more profile prior to the election. Trotter, sees this move as potentially positive as it would allow Labour and the Greens more scope to enter a formal coalition. Trotter argues that the reason why this has not yet happened is because of Nandor's association with, and views on, cannabis. The Hive thinks that this is a very superficial analysis. The Green's far left views on economic policy were probably more to blame. However, if Trotter is correct, this will mean that a vote for Labour at the next election will be a vote for the Greens in Government.
