Marxist Greens still support Kerekere

The Herald reports:

Green MP Elizabeth Kerekere’s standing has been bolstered by the endorsement of a group of left wing members of the Green Party.

The GreenLeft Network (GLN), an organisation of members on the left of the party, has endorsed Kerekere as a preferred candidate in the party’s list ranking process, effectively calling on members to rank her highly. The endorsement was included in an email to members, obtained by the Herald.

The left faction of the Greens are the ones who think Pol Pot was a centrist.

Candidates’ position on that list will determine whether they are likely to make it into Parliament after the election. The GLN has endorsed 10 candidates, including three sitting MPs, Kerekere, Teanau Tuiono, and Ricardo Menéndez March.

So Chloe and Marama are not left enough for the Marxist faction. I guess that is a point in their favour.
