The Afternoons’ panel has just finished discussing the police’s decision not to prosecute John Banks and invited former Labour Party president Mike Williams to give his view.
If memory serves me right he was president when his party was guilty of the pledge card rort.
The question then is: was the irony in inviting him to talk about electoral law accidental or deliberate?

The socialists did nothing wrong, they merely took the necessary steps to prevent electoral disaster, they viewed any success by National as just that.
I would never describe such a tactic by Red Radio as you suggest it but ignorance could explain it.
The way some of the rabid are still clinging to the now dismissed complaints against Banks for supposed irregularities in his failed Mayoral campaign in a pathetic attempt to derail the long promoted MOM for state generators, portrays their skewed view of politics.
