Talk:Peter Davis (sociologist)

"The couple married in 1981 as a result of her campaign for Parliament."

Could anyone tell me more about what this campaign was all about?

 * I believe that it was simply that, back in the 80s, it was less socially acceptable for people to be living together in a long-term relationship without being married. As I understand it, Clark was advised that she should marry Davis before the campaign, as conservatives might not approve of her arrangements at the time. (I don't think it would have been that big a deal, and conservatives probably wouldn't have been voting Labour anway, but I suppose every little bit helps). I have a quote by her that says: "I think legal marriage is unnecessary, and I would not have formalised the relationship except for going into Parliament." (I can't find a proper source for this quote, though, so I can't vouch for its accuracy. But it matches my understanding of the matter.) -- Vardion 23:38, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

does this count. It is still a rumour, but if its substantial enough to warrant a reponse from HC, surely its worthy of inclusion here.

 * Once it is published, it is in the public domain, and can be included as a rumour.--Midnighttonight Procrastinating on uni work... 03:41, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Would it hurt to share the rumours in the talk section here? i don't think so. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.110.145.13 (talk • contribs).

 * The political right in New Zealand has been trying to smear Helen Clark and her husband for a long time. This is why Helen Clark's own entry has a vandalism problem. Wikipedia is just another way they can do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.254.246.237 (talk) 18:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
