Watkins in the Dom Post compares the disciplining of MPs between Britain and New Zealand, concluding a cross-party committee is not conducive to either Labour party's management style.
Miss Clark has opted fort he "tough it out" and "move on" approach, which is why she has resisted calls to pursue the lines of inquiry left open by the Ingram report, even though it posed as many questions as it answered. Whereas, of course, a cross-party code of conduct inquiry just might open those lines of inquiry and could drag on for weeks. Neither possibility is conducive to the "let's move on" school of political management.
