Progressive regressives....
So, finally, Chairman Jim has come back to the Labour fold... or has he and what does this mean for his party the Progressives?
Does anybody remember the internationally ridiculed shit Jim pulled a few years ago when he left the Alliance? When he left the Alliance he refused to officially disclose this to the speaker meaning that while the Alliance was a party in Parliament, he was operating against it outside Parliament within his own Party the Progressives, or Jim Andertons Progressives (to let voters know who to vote for).
Wikipedia has a neat post on this
Eventually, Anderton decided to leave the Alliance and establish a new party. However, rules regarding changes of party allegiance meant that Anderton and his allies could not officially resign from the Alliance without also resigning from parliament, which they were unwilling to do. This led to the awkward situation of Anderton and his allies technically remaining part of the Alliance while actually operating outside of it. The conflict within the Alliance was one of the reasons cited by Helen Clark for her calling elections several months early in 2002
The main reason for this was for Jim to continue getting his funding.... Jim is well known for having his snout in the trough as deep as possible. This is why he is going to continue to have the progressives remain as a party in name only, collecting the leaders salary, while having all its members running as Labour candidates and putting its money and staff into Labour Party policy and campaigning.
Does anybody in Parliament have any love for Jim who has carved out a political career that has alienated everybody he has worked with including Labour, The Greens and the Alliance. The Greens couldn't wait to get shot of him and Jim poured hatred at them afterwards... however the Greens won that battle while everything Jim has touched has turned to manure.
Surely this is against the rules of Parliament? What can be done to stop this inept and hypocritical "man of the people" from stealing more taxpayers money that he is supposed to get?

I live in hope that someday when it is a super slow news day someone from the msm will tumble to the fact that this self opinionated ego, that has been at the trough for so long that they thought he was part of the trough, will be exposed for the hollow vessel he is. I remember last century when Time Magazine, in an article on future leaders of the pacific, had some left wingnut journo nominate this useless socialist as a future leader of NZ. I wince when I recall.
His legacy is KiwiBank. That's all he needs
Good, a bank that operates like all other banks under the misconception that politicians have a right to run commercial activities.
Selling Kiwibank will be the best and quickest way to kill that legacy. I am glad Jenny, that you admit he has no legacy apart from that. Jolly good!
