You may not know it but PaulaBennet isn't standing as leader. Adern gets a few ticks because no one sees Little as Labour's leader. There are only two possibilities for P M. English or Peter's as leader of a weird coalition.

And now, the two Hopefuls, Greens and NZ first are declaring their unwillingness to enter a government that has the other one in it. Still, that's all pie-in the-sky stuff.
No worries - at least we know that any theoretical coalition partner of Labour would be racist. The Greenies said that NZ First is racist (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=11888053) - and hey, this is a point where I would agree with them and then NZ First said that the Greenies are racist (same link - and sadly I must admit that Winston First might have a point as well).
Given EZ's implication that Labour only recruits honest and hard working people standing on the moral high ground (EZ, please correct me, if I misunderstood :p), there is no way that these moral high flyers would work together with racists of any colour. Right, EZ?
The few posts from el Z - seen against his usual machine-gun defence of Labour - lead me to conclude that he is working his ass off somewhere in the background - trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. And he's not getting much help from the party, or Uncle Winston.
Interesting item on WP and race:

The Green Party and race...I guess it is debatable whether ensuring indigenous rights is racist or not.
The emotionally charged labelling of an opponent as "racist" can often be a convenient way to try to win an argument or shut down debate on contentious topics. It often works!
I can't stand Irishmen. They are all a bunch of lazy, drunken gamblers. Still, its probably better than shooting each other like they do in some places.
