  • Angus Robertson,

    Yes, and the same goes for the unions in the 80s who floundered aimlessly as Douglas rogered the nation. Citizens and voters deserved a better choice.

    The union movement did not flounder through the 80s, they worked very hard to achieve the election of the 4th Labour government. And then they supported it.

    I feel it is more correct to say that Unions affiliated to the Council of Trade Unions - one of he funding arms of the Labour Party - worked hard to elect the villains that were the treacherous 4th Labour Government.

    Yes. And that ripped open the NZ trade union movement and saw the creation of an alternative to CTU.

    But it's certainly difficult to see the wood for the trees when you're battling amongst them.
