How Elizabeth Kerekere's resignation impacts the Greens - and Labour
The Front Page - Podcast tekijän mukaan NZ Herald
Having one MP resign from their party mid-term is rare enough in Aotearoa – but to have two from the same electorate is basically unheard of. Yet days after Meka Whaitiri quit the Labour Party, her two-time Ikaroa-Rāwhiti electorate rival Elizabeth Kerekere has quit the Green Party. What was behind Kerekere’s decision to leave, and what does this shake-up between Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori mean for a potential coalition after the election? Today, on The Front Page, we’re joined by NZ Herald deputy political editor and host of the On the Tiles podcast Thomas Coughlan, to discuss the latest political shakeups.
