Lindsay Mitchell: Katherine Rich announces departure

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

That will lower the collective IQ of the National Party a few points. All the best Katherine. I am sure you have made the right decision.

Anonymous said...: I always thought Rich should have been in the Labour Party: she was a welfare statist.

Although despite her resignation, the National front line still has the same problem, which is not so much lack of feminine representation, (so long as a political party is about ideas, philosophy, does that really matter?) so much as too many socialists and no classical liberals, starting at the very top.

At face value it seems empathetic. And that she was well above average IQ.
But actually it says she has a very low IQ, a loss of few points from the total of the caucus.
The right decision to leave is a good thing for politics.; 9:27 AM

Who is using the party brain cell at the moment?; 9:06 PM

You cannot be that effective if your political enemies speak well of you.

This election year requires total dedication in the effort to defeat Labour. Nothing less will do.; 6:53 AM
