It's Marama Davidson! Also Chlöe moves up to #3

Thoughts? I think Marama (bad cop) is preferred to James Shaw (good cop) for "senior co-leader" position for negotiating a coalition with labour. Although if Labour keeps up in the polls and they get 50% then Greens will have even less bargaining power than this time around.
James Shaw and Todd Muller (New National leader) have worked together fruitfully in the past with the carbon emissions bill, and Nikki Kaye is also an outspoken environmentalist at least inside the National Party. While I don't think there's any chance at all that Greens would align with Nats to form a government, maybe they could pull sneaky deals every now and again to push environmentalism (A "Green-Blue" National party would be happy to make environmental progress especially if it made Labour look silly?)
