Labour runs away

Stuff reports:

Labour has announced they will not stand a candidate in the upcoming Port Waikato by-election, saying the seat is “unwinnable”.

Traditionally a National stronghold, Labour has never won the North Island seat and party president Jill Day said contesting the by-election would take resources away from holding the government to account.

It’s certainly unwinnable by the current Labour Party.

Before they hold the government to account, they should hold themselves to account for how they managed the largest ever drop in support in the history of New Zealand elections.
