New twist

Chris Trotter has a new twist on why the Bradford Bill should go in his DomPost column, Withdraw your failed bill, Sue.

Despite being a supporter of the bill he writes;

Passing this legislation now, over the objections of four fifths of the electorate will not settle the matter. The people will punish the Left and themselves by voting the far Right into power.

And how will that help the children of New Zealand?


He can only mean voting National into power. I struggle to think of anything that would change for New Zealand children under a National government. Seriously, can you?

The timidity shown by National on this matter, its economic track record of recent times, and its incompetence in opposition, do not inspire confidence.

Despite all of that give me anything but Helen Clark!

Nah, John Key is an utter waste of time - the Labour B Team.

I've tried voting tactically in the past to oust Labour, but no more. I'm voting on principle from now on: Libs and ACT.

(And I seriously don't understand who Key is trying to appeal to. By setting National back to 'basics', Don Brash almost took out the last election, and would have if it hadn't been for those moron Exclusive Brethren; all Key stands to do is lose all the support Brash won back, and just to set an example I hope he loses by a landslide, even it that means another three year dictatorship by the Left - as if he wins, well, it's the same thing anyway.)

Trotter had another dumb statement:

`those painful childhood memories of sudden and inexplicable violence'!

What crap. When I got a hiding I knew it was coming and why, because I knew I had had overstepped the boundaries. Often the wait was worse than the actual punishment

Hard to say who he means. In the Trotter world anyone who is less socialistic than Mao is the Far Right.
