Chauvel Chucks a Tanty
Charles Chauvel has every right to chuck a tanty over his treatment in the latest Labour re-shuffle. When he was announced to the public, Dear Leader was touting his as not only a fresh Polynesian brown face, but a talented, successful, corporate and gay one. He had all the qualities desirable to bridge the divide between Labour's candidates chosen for their tick from Dear Leader through lesbianism, homosexuality and Union ties, and their blatant need for someone who looked good in a suit and had a basic level of intellect when dealing with business people more intelligent than they were.
Chauvel is the kind of guy who if did not exhibit Socialist tendencies, would romp on to an ACT or National party list.
He even speaks at Business Roundtable functions. Has Charles simply fallen to The Curse of Kerr? He's simply not used to waiting around to be promoted. Chauvel's legal career was one with his obvious ability and a bit of affirmative action, he made it to the top very quickly. One expects the same in politics where the competition on paper is a lot weaker.
It is also understood that he has ruffled the feathers of caucus colleagues who believe they are ahead of him in the queue for promotion and suspect he fed speculation about his chances.
As I mentioned, in this post, Chauvel has every right to throw his toys not to be in the top 26 of a bad bunch. I mean under these rankings he is less important to Dear Leader than Darren Hughes! A guy who has never had a real job in his life! Lets not mention the former History Professor who currently masquerades as Attorney General.
Chauvel has proven with his tanty that he is no Uncle Tame waiting to be used again as a headline affirmative action act by Dear Leader.
He's presentable
He's educated
He's got real life work experience
He's at least mildly acceptable to Corporates and can speak in a Boardroom
He's better qualified for senior positions than almost all his colleagues
THIS is the problem Dear Leader has when she brings in people with actual talent and then does not promote them ahead of her talentless bunch of lickety-spit goobers.
The talented people get pissed off.
Fortunately for her the problem should not arise again as it is unlikely anyone else of Chauvel's talent will wish to stand for the Party in the next election.
According to Granny Herald the likely list only newcomers include:

Oh dear, she's really recruiting in the Primary Schools now.

If Jordan Carter is the answer, the is the question:
"How badly do we want to lose?"
Champagne Charlie is another example of why MMP sucks. This twat would never get elected as an electorate MP
If you've got real world talent, & are in Labour, you're obviously batting for the wrong team.
