Herald rates Labour’s frontbench
The Herald rates Labour’s frontbench:
- Phil Twyford 9/10
- Annette King 8/10
- Chris Hipkins 8/10
- Kelvin Davis 8/10
- Jacinda Ardern 7/10
- Grant Robertson 7/10
- Andrew Little 7/10
- Carmel Sepuloni 6/10
That’s better ratings than they’ve had for a while. Little has generally placed the strongest performers on the front bench, unlike previous leaders. Little’s challenge is his own rating – you normally expect the leader to be one of the strongest performers, not mid range.
