I tell you what, I am absolutely not a live theatre person, but that was great. And I think what I loved about it is because I'm obviously a bit of a political geek and it really had a good look inside a lot of the events we all know about. One of which was the historic moment for Helen Clark as a leader when her leadership vote was on 2%. percent Labour's vote was on 14 percent and senior males in her caucus went into her office late at night and said Helen basically it's over you're done um you know you haven't got the support and we want you gone Helen looked at them and said I will see you in the caucus room in 30 minutes. You will move a motion of no confidence and we'll see where we get to. Thirty minutes later the vote was held and she eyeballed them and stared them down and that was it. That was the end of the rump lean.
