Lame Duck?

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The media is already playing the 'who will Winston choose?' game every time the polls show Labour and National neck and neck.

Some commentators reckon the rising economic tide will raise National's ship, the SS Disappointment, and save Luxo' from an embarassing loss to the uncomfortable coalition of Labour-Greens-Māori Party.

Meanwhile, Winnie had a crack at Hipkins and the media over this: "How can Hipkins say he is still 'keeping his options open' when asked about working with NZ First? We already permanently ruled him out months ago - just like we did last in the election. He doesn't have any options to keep open! Does he need it written in fat crayons so he can understand? And why is the media asking him these pointless questions when they know, and he knows, he's a lame duck?"
