Winston Welcomes News That Clarkson Will Stand Again

Winston First Leader Winston Peters has just issued a statement on the news that Bob Clarkson is to stand again in Tauranga. We repeat the carefully worded statement in full:

"New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters welcomes today’s announcement that Mr Clarkson will contest the seat of Tauranga in this year’s election.

Mr Peters says that an announcement regarding his own future will be made in due course."

Will Winston be announcing his retirement from politics?

Will he be announcing his agreement to the PM's offer of High Commissioner to London?

Or will he be contesting Tauranga also?

Will we be able to sleep at night (something Winston has never done) until we know the answer?
