This week the Rail Maritime Transport union in NZ discussed disaffiliating from the NZ Labour Party, a step we at Redline strongly favour. The article below about the RMT move contains links to our articles on unions and the NZ Labour Party: https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/11/01/rail-maritime-transport-union-discussing-disaffiliation-from-labour/ Ditch Labour, fight for workers' rights: this article contains links to pieces on alternatives: https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/11/01/ditch-labour-fight-for-workers-rights/ Writing from Canada, Nizar Visram sees the US presdiential contest as tweedlee-dee and tweedle-dum: https://rdln.wordpress.com/2016/11/01/us-presidential-election-tweedledum-vs-tweedledee/ A reader in New York, however, disagrees with parts of Nizar's analysis - see the discussion section below the article.
