I do not.
I don't think anyone can lead the Labour party as it currently stands to a win over the National party*. If Cunliffe is going to win the next election he needs to beat the party into a shape where, as a traditional Labour supporter, I feel like they actually have a vision for the country, and the where-withal to carry it through without self-destructing at each other.
I say this as a life-long Labour/Greens supporter.
If an election was held tomorrow, I would probably just not bother voting.
*by contrast it's always felt like this National party is a cohesive unit. You actually feel like Key has the backing, and the backs, of his ministers.
