I'm struggling with Green leadership if James Shaw will simply "trust" Jacinda to eek out a deal. Labour wont have forgotten how good Greens are at deals when they put up a last minute candidate in Ohariu contrary to pre-agreement. And he does know, I presume, the Labour / Green MOU expired on Election day - there is no obligation for Labour to do anything for the Greens. Labours sole responsibility is to their constituency
