This blog was dedicated to the monitoring of latest developments in Central, Regional and Local politics from its base in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. The blog was run by a team with unique insights into latest developments. The Hive was not politically aligned, but did support policy that was best for the growth of business and the economy. Given the obvious interest from our readership The Hive from time to time delved into the politics of other countries or regions.

Super Union
It is interesting that the new super union that we drew attention to last weekend, but which a number of commentators on The Hive and Kiwiblog said was a non-event and no threat to Labour, is the lead story in today's NBR. Included in the article is the comment which many disputed in our article "there is some nervousness in the Labour Party about the impending merger." What an understatement! Anyway great article Ben Thomas. The point about the source of organisation and activists for the party campaigns is particularly well made.
