Hierarchy ‘out of touch’
“Incredible” is how the Auckland-based National Party ginger group, the Blue Ribbon Association, has described events within the party. “If this is a sample of National Party democratic process then pity help the party,” said a spokesman for Blue Ribbon, Mr W. R. Cozens. He asked how much lower Mr McLay could go in the polls before the National caucus took any notice of the opinion of party supporters, and how the caucus could consider moving against Sir Robert Muldoon when he consistently rated so high in the polls all year. The hierarchy of the National Party administration was certainly out of touch with its membership on the subject of which leader should be promoted.
