time to Act up again?

Now that Donna is going, and Kenneth Wong is stepping up, it will be interesting to see how things play out inside Act.

Without the common quasi-internal enemy, and with List selection looming, the sudden addition of Wong to the caucus could create some tension, especially as it is not all that long since the leadership change.

With Act currently polling below the threshold, and unlikely to get back its current 9 MPs, the fight for the top few spots will be nasty. I believe Act has a poll of the membership regarding its rankings (anyone know?), but I don't know if this is merely influential or strictly binding. Given the fall of Penny Webster last time, few, if any, Act MPs can consider themselves safe.

Mr Wong of course will have less time to get used to the trappings of office so I guess he has the least to lose.

Whatever happens, I bet the polling in Epsom is a total feeding frenzy.

And of course it's not over for Donna herself yet - she still has the SFO charges to face. Possibly considerably more humiliation to come, and maybe jail, but now it probably won't taint Act (pity really).
