I suspect James Shaw ended up in the same place as Jim Anderton after the peak of the Alliance. Closer to his Cabinet colleagues in Labour than his own party base.
This is just an observation. I'm not writing off either of them. Anderton made many lasting contributions to Aotearoa, and I suspect I'll be saying the same thing of Shaw in 20 years.
