Labour Party President Mike Williams is to resign this week
A party president’s job is to maximise the party vote at a general election. In mid 2007, Labour Party President did not believe that National had a significant coalition partner
It never needed one – because whoever gets the Maori seats on side is the government. Mike Williams badly miscued that one and he is now stepping down from the presidency . He failed to do his job. He failed to build a liaison with the Maori Party and he failed to engage his grassroots support – instead he tried to go for the rich people to give money to Labour. He also thought that a smear on John Key would be an election winner.
It was – for National. I wonder if Williams will be told to resign from the company boards he is representing the government on – a government headed by the man he tried to smear. The companies being:
Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited
Genesis Power Limited
Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA)
Transit New Zealand
Waitakere Enterprise
New Zealand Railways Corporation (Ontrack)
North West Auckland Airport Limited
I usually forget to go to things as my time is so limited, but I happened to read something on the forums about this, and since it was in about half an hour I stirred my stumps and got a good seat before I wandered off to the kitchen to find some yoghurt.
The costumes and actor’s look in general was excellent.
/me gives Hamlet a comb.
The setting was lovely, and the theatre itself very nice.
Ina Centaur and everyone who has contributed to the production deserve praise. It was an enjoyable evening out and I’d recommend it to anyone.
