Is Helen Clark channeling Muldoon?

Former Labour prime minister (for a nearly 2 months in 1990), Mike Moore, seems to think so here.

Since Robert Muldoon was the last 3 term Prime Minister in NZ I suppose some resemblance is inevitable. Does this mean we have to be on the watch for wage freezes, cabinet sackings/forced resignations, and snap elections?

On the other hand Muldoon lead a national government so instead of wage freezes perhaps we should be looking for the promise of more handouts to the working and lower middle classes from an aging Labour government instead.

If that is the case we now have 2 out of 3.

Now if National can stop flip flopping like a metronome and come up with some fresh policies they would be in like Flinn.
