Labour Should Attack the Greens

Doing research for my latest Snob's Guide book, I have learned something about Labour that I'd forgotten. They're the biggest victim of MMP. First they were gutted by the Alliance. They got over that but then came the Greens on their own and they've also impacted. Since NZ introduced MMP, the highest percentage of the vote Labour received is 41.26% in 2002. The highest National received is 47.31% in 2011.

Labour has been slowly eroding. This explains their current position, being the only party at the polls in 2017 to receive a large swing to it, yet still having to kowtow to the Greens. Labour should attack the Greens, to reclaim the ground to their political left, and to put them on an even footing with National. If they don't do this, they will be condemned to forever putting together threesomes, and that doesn't work as easily as twosomes. Just saying.
