Comrade Matthew Hooton has a new theory today on why the Labour First Axis was formed. The PM has a conscience and by keeping Winston vulnerable and dangling she is about to:
get rid of what I have described and deeply believe is the closest thing we have ever had to a Nazi Party in the New Zealand Parliament. It would mean she could leave office with at least some integrity as a one-time social democrat.
We are not sure about this theory but we hope that indeed the PM's tactics do rid us of, as hooton describes it, "the bizarre little crook who remains a minister in her government".
