Social democracy meets social networking

With candidate selection underway, does anyone know if there are any moves afoot for Andrew Little to enter parliament? 

He would make a great politician and whilst he seems to be a good party president, I get the feeling the party needs someone like him in parliament and possibly as the leader eventually.

Although i admire and like Phil, Key has a charisma that has mesmerized the media, I do beleive that we need someone to do the same.
Even if Andrew was more involved and seen by teh public with Phil, it would help labour in teh polls

I like Phil as well, he's an experienced politician, an incessantly hard worker and a man with a good depth of knowledge, but from what I've seen of Andrew Little, he could add a good bit of charisma and I get the feeling he could easily go toe to toe with anyone in National in the debating chamber. His addition could make for some interesting developments and compliment Phil very well.

It needs to happen.

We don't see more of him in the media because he is party president - the party president should not be making headlines and taking away from the media the politicians should be getting.

Surely in opposition any media is better than no media, regardless of who it is for? We need to get our message out however we can...

Bob Harvey says he was sacked as Party President because the Leader did not want the show pony to be seen by the public to be shitting in the performance arena
