Helen Clark to leave Parliament in 2009

Will be interesting to see the outcome, especially with the fact that the US should have more sway. I'm going to short this one while prices are high, personally I think the current rate is overvalued and could still go either way.

Thoughts?

Odds of her getting the UN position are way less than 94%, even with Key pushing her for it. Where else would she go if that didn't work out though?

Well she's been in Labour pretty much all her career, it's what she knows and she's a current sitting MP. I think unless she does get an offer from the UN or somewhere else she's going to stay with what she knows.

At the moment it's pretty much at same odds as the EFA to be repealed. Can people really be that certain?

Does anybody know when the decision on who has successfully obtained the UN position is due?

Doesn't this need to close at 1 since she's taken the other job?

Closed now
