- Description
Drawn in the style of Salvador Dali and titled after one of his lithographs, the cartoon shows the leader of the opposition, David Shearer as a disembodied head, lacking all potency and supported by multiple props. Two Labour Party supporters are holding further props. One asks 'Where shall I shove this one?' The other looks anxiously at a floppy clock ticking relentlessly to the election.
By July 2013, with the Labour Party, and David Shearer in particular, lagging in public opinion polls, supporters were wearying of the attempts to prop up his leadership as an alternative to that of the government. With a year and half to the election, cutting their losses and installing a new leader seemed the more viable option.
