Jacinda has NO experience at leading anything yet. <snip>
Neither did John. At least she's been in the Government system, he hadn't. <snip>
No experience except winning his electorate seat in a General Election three times before being made PM. (Something that Ms. Adern has not once managed to achieve)
...oh, that and the two years spent as the Opposition's Spokeperson for Finance before being promoted to Opposition leader where he spend a further two years developing the National party into an entity that could beat Helen Clark's Labour Government and sustain level of support from voters that has never been achieved in any MMP framework ever.
Yeah - that's roughly about the same as Labour's spokesperson for Children who was left holding the parcel when the music stopped 8wks out from the Election.
National has always been the dominating party, thats a huge help. Its won more elections than Labour by a wide margin. Labour under Clarke had got very tired. Its hardly a fair comparison.
I don t understand what you are saying...........Labour were in Government for 9 years and during that time National reinvented itself massively. Labour has been in opposition for 9 years and changed leader about 5 times...and thats about it. National have let some things slip in the last 8 years including their own image and may well pay for that this time.
I do remember the 9 years of Labour government very well, where NO new roads were built or no new trains were purchased, or hospitals built for that matter. The size of the civil service grew approx 40% to achieve what? Sure strong leadership but whatelse...
