New parties?

Tracy Watkins reports at the Dom Post:

Talk is swirling on the left and the right of the political spectrum about new political parties, just a year out from the next election.

Former National leader Don Brash is understood to be coming under pressure within Right-wing circles in Auckland to consider a return to politics, while former Green MP Sue Bradford admits she would consider a comeback under the banner of a new Left-wing party.

iPredict, an online futures market for politics, launched stocks yesterday picking the formation of a new Left-wing or Right-wing party before the election and raised the stakes by linking Ms Bradford and Dr Brash to their creation.

iPredict has a new right ring party (with Don Brash as a member) at 19%, and a new left wing party (with at least two of Harawira, Bradford and McCarten) at 41%.

I think they are both over-priced.
