Party Health

Isaac Davidson looks at the state of the parties in 2017:

• National: Recovering well from major surgery.
• Labour: Steady, but with self-inflicted wounds.
• Greens: In a stable condition.
• NZ First: New lease of life, but elixir of youth needed.
• Maori Party: In a serious condition.
• ACT: On life support (National)
• United Future: Terminal.
• Mana: May pull through.
• The Opportunities Party: In need of a miracle cure.
• Conservative: Comatose, seven months to live.

Pretty good summary.
