Opportunities Party board 'did not allow any internal criticism'RNZ Jessica Hammond Doube stood for TOP in Ohariu, and was the party's highest polling candidate. Former Opportunities Party (TOP) candidates say the party's board did not allow any internal criticism of the party. TOP leader Gareth Morgan publicly announced he would step down from leading the party last week, pending a new leader being selected. NO INTERNAL CRITICISMCandidates Jenny Condie and Jessica Hammond Doube, who have both resigned, said the party's board did not allow any internal criticism of the party or its messaging. Neither of the candidates were invited to the Wednesday meeting, despite Hammond Doube significantly outperforming her party in her electorate.
