The rise of Chloe

James Shaw has announced his resignation as Greens co-leader. This is not hugely surprising with the Greens in opposition. Almost inevitably Chloe Swarbrick will replaces him as co-leader since they changed their rules to allow two women to be co-leaders (but not two men!).

Chloe could well lift support for the Greens at the expense of Labour.

The next leadership change is likely to be Marama Davidson stepping down in 2025, and being replaced by Tamatha Paul.
