Such bright young things, they were
To think the Labour Party used to be pilloried for the rate at which it went through leaders. Since Helen Clark took over leadership of Labour, National's gone through Bolger, Shipley, English and Brash, as well as a fair few deputy leaders. Labour's only had one change in deputy leader over the same time.
As for all this talk about how National "almost won" the last election ... they did experience a spectacular revival in their fortunes, but it's worth bearing in mind Labour's share of the party vote was essentially unchanged: from 41.26% in 2002 to 41.10% in 2005.
