Winners and Losers
A couple of blogs have posts on who they see as the winners and losers on Labour’s factional warfare.
Eddie at The Standard says:
Winners
- John Key
- Russel Norman
- Andrew Little
Losers
- The Left (and NZ)
- Grant Robertson
- David Shearer
Winners in the long run
- The Labour membership
- David Cunliffe
Doesn’t sounds like it is all over, as Shearer has been trying to insist today.
Bomber at Tumeke blogs:
Winners
- Mainstream media
- The Blogs
- Emotional violence
- Labour’s old guard
- The unions & Labour’s membership
- Mana & Greens
Losers
- The left of the Labour Party
- Democracy
- David Shearer
Bomber also looks at three scenarios:
- Shearer the King – rated a very low probability
- Cunliffe the Challenger – a certainty if Shearer trips up in the next 3 months
- Robertson/Ardern ticket – the only person who walks out of this factional fighting stronger is Robertson
Also iPredict has a look at the trading on the Labour stocks, and the timing of buys and sells.
