Nothing solved —P.M.
PA Wellington The Prime Minister, Mr Muldoon, said the Labour Party’s problems would not be solved by Mr Rowling’s stepping down from the leadership. “I don’t think it solves anything for the Labour Party,” he told reporters, “because it is very obvious that the divisions are deep and there is a big body of the Labour caucus, and I think the party outside, who do not want the obvious successor, Mr Lange.” “That is a problem they will have to solve.” Mr Muldoon said he had telephoned Mr Rowling after hearing his decision. Mr Muldoon said that it would be “totally impossible” to choose Mr Moyle as Labour’s leader. “He could never be the leader of . a political party... given the circumstances of his resignation from Parliament.”
