Will Labour file for an Electoral Petition? Does it have the funds? Does David Shearer really want to spend money the party doesn't have on someone who was reportedly in Camp Cunliffe?
Interesting questions, because as Graeme Edgeler reports at http://publicaddress.net/legalbeagle, if Labour were successful in an Electoral Petition, Ms Bennett would be out of parliament and unable to even return on the list. National, due to a strange quirk in our electoral laws, would lose a seat and be unable to replace Ms Bennett from the list; Labour, having won the Petition, would gain a seat, and proportionality would be out the window.
And then National's asset sales would be off the agenda...
So... Something to think about, Mr Shearer?
