I would honestly hope David Cunliffe becomes Labours New Leader. A new face, it shouldn't really matter who's face leads a party....... If they are passionate and dedicated about the position they are expected to do from begining to the end why not give them the chance. The whole thing with Helen Clark should not over come what we as new zealanders need for the future. As for some of the comments regarding politicans pledging to New Zealand workers.... It is sad t see that the only interests are for those whom earn more then the adv households.... Life is already hard putting food on tables and paying bills... Go TEAM CUNLIFFE!

While I do not support current Labour policies in any way or form, I agree Shearer has the look and feel of a fresh breeze of honesty which Cunliffe does not portray. It would be good to have a new opposition party free of the shackles of the restrictive Clark era and free of the Nannyisms and anti social policies that went with it. I feel it could also be good to see Damien O'Conner as Shearers running mate which would express a positive fresh start for Labour.

LOL, what a spin. It should read as follows

"“I have the interest of the New Zealand’s Beneficiaries in my heart and that I can deliver for them for free cash.”
