Just a few points from someone who actually would seriously consider voting Labour:
-If dotcom is out of the picture then that's half the problem sorted. Keys "a vote for Labour is a vote for dotcom" bullshit line was a killer.
-Get a leadership vote out of the way and then their caucus et all start working together.
-Don't concentrate on getting votes back from parties left of them, instead go for the big chunk of centrist voters. This means working on image ie no apologies for being a man or man-ban type stuff - not that this is stuff is bad, it's just over the heads of who you're dealing with.
-concentrate on promoting a few main policies - preferably to do with Housing, job creation and education. After six years most people struggle to name more than one or two National policies.
-Play the MMP game. Let the Greens be left of centre-left. 34+14 > 47.
