Parker For Deputy??

Go for it Labour. Don't look at the fact he lost his constituency seat last time and this time had a humiliating personal result. And don't listen to those from the business community who say Parker was captured by his officials and vested interests early on, and who say he refused to listen to those wanting to make the ETS work. And don't listen to those in your caucus, or Jim Anderton, who were uncomfortable with the way in which the ETS was rammed home without design flaws ironed out, and without a second round of consultation. And ignore The Hive which long predicted that Parker would be instrumental in causing Labour to lose the election through his handling of the ETS. Go for it....
