Not too concerned - as in what our PM seems to often be despite what goes on around him!

Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to andrew gunn,
I am in totally the same boat as you and agree with what you've expressed.
Plus I still don't agree that a change in leader is what should come first.

I think the Labour Party needs to take a good hard look at itself. Once it works out what is is them pick a leader that reflect it. Picking a leader first is the plain stupid

Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to Keir Leslie,
It doesn't mean the party can't choose to have a caretaker for an extended period of time. His resignation doesn't mean that a new leader must immediately be appointed/elected.

Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to AceMcWicked,
I agree, this is a really well written, thoughtful piece. Well done James on expressing your thoughts on the issue from a position within the Labour machine.
The thing I baulk at as a mid 30s, left leaning health professional is the view that 'Change needed, change not equaling Cunliffe, therefore change must equal Robertson' is rather short sighted.
I think that what David Shearer (and Mike Williams) has expressed that the review must occur before a leadership change is bang on. The decision to install a caretaker leader today is the right one, but it should be in place until we know what the future looks like, not just until one of the two available options is selected.
I don't know what the right answer is, but rushing a leadership change when broader work is required seems short sighted and actually seems to reinforce the view that Russell had highlighted post election that the electorate didn't trust Labour to lead.

Field Theory: The final four, in reply to Peter Darlington,
Agreed about the Chiefs' jersey, would have much rather see a Stormers v Crusaders play off. I have to say the French jersey is cooler than the All Blacks one. I can handle them winning this comp, just not any others.
And thank god we're not meeting them in the previous round eh, would be far similar to 1997 I suspect.

Field Theory: Never alone with Metenolone, in reply to Brent Jackson,
I clearly have missed my calling - at 1.70cm and 74kg, I'm a female hammer thrower!

I am sad to see Mikey go, despite it being the right move. I don't think losing the current 5 drive shows is the right way to go. While I don't always appreciate Ritchie's musical taste, he has a presence that is hard to resist!
I would be disappointed if the many of the guest slots change on Breakfast - Rick, Fabian et al are great.
