Labour’s party president has shuns pursiing a “mythical political centre” in an opening night speech at the Labour Partry 2015 conference.
President Nigel Haworth delivers his address to
#nzlpconf – the opportunities ahead and the challenges facing us.
From his speech:
Labour President Nigel Haworth: need to be true to our principles, not pursue a “mythical political centre”
#nzlpconf
I wonder if that excludes working for the real political centre.
Also at the conference Andrew Little said “Our moral obligation is to do the best for New Zealanders.”
He didn’t say out loud ‘Our moral obligation is to do the best for New Zealanders…except those in the centre’.
If Labour shuns the centre and pursues it’s historical Labour ideals they will somewhat narrow their appeal.
