Shane Jones has gone---time to take a leaf out of Tamati's book, Labour---just get on with it and win!

I like Shane Jones. I believe he would have been right up there in the next Labour Government. He is a 'terrier' in Parliament, just the person needed to shake the Government benches but the fact is, he about to go. There is no point in analysing why he went and how it happened. It is time to get on with concentrating on the real issues that beset this nation and follow the fine example of Tamati in Rotorua. That man impresses me mightily, re his efforts to reach out and meet the electorate and the manner in which he has drawn support from a wide range of voters. He is concentrating on the issues and seeing the bigger picture, albeit from his Rotorua base. Come on Labour people; don't get sucked into the endless and pointless discussions that National would have you do! Get in behind your local candidates and the leader of the Labour Party. The leadership battle is over and should be put behind us. Any other strategy is wasted  and will keep Labour in the doldrums. Shane has gone and will no doubt contribute in other areas for the betterment of New Zealand and the wider world stage. Now, go forth and multiply the votes!
