Rana reckons right
A couple of weeks ago, in his River City Press column Rana Reckons, Rana Waitai reckoned that the appointment of Hamish McDoull as Labour candidate for Whanganui was done and dusted.
Right on Rana. Your column is always full of solid common sense and that’s a refreshing change – the only thing common about common sense is how uncommon it is.
Who had a say in this? The local Labour Party membership? The beloved leader and her minders? I suspect a divine decree from the Czarina herself but I’m willing to be persuaded otherwise.
Did Jill Pettis stand down or was she pushed? Did she “voluntarily” stand down before she was given the old heave-ho?
Good luck Hamish. But keep your powder dry. There’s no internal democracy in your party of choice.
