Now let's get on with the job--the battle of the Davids is over!

David the winner could demote and shame David the loser but I think that both Davids need to be on  the front bench and that any demotion going as far as the backbench is probably not the best way to go forward. There is no doubt the David Shearer has a right to be a bit pissed off, but it is in the best interests of the Party (and the nation) for him to take a 'Helenic' approach; that is to embrase his prodigal member. Now is not the time for vengeance, but it is time for a pulling together of all the resources; both human and financial to get on with becoming and promoting the 'Government in waiting.'
