Labour Wounded Most As Trust Trampled
A11 of the SST is noteworthy. The Editorial is actually critical of Labour. OK, they try their best to smear John Key's good name, but the bottom line is, that in an election that Helen Clark, Michael Cullen and David Cunliffe say is about trust, Labour has come of worst on the trust issue thanks to the way Winston Peters has been handled. The paper also comes very close to saying that Labour should be cutting the strings completely with its Axis partner because a future Labour First Government would have real legitimacy questions asked of it. This in turn will lead to unpopularity.
