> Surely you Kiwis didn’t expect anything different from Clark when you elected her, did you? Woman’s been a stone socialist all her life, give cards and spades to idiots such as Osamabama.

(sigh) She was always ever going to be a train-wreck. The trick will now be to get rid of her — this has been a trick since the last two elections. With MMP (our voting methodology) the Government is determined by who can cobble together the largest coalition. It is possible to clobber Helen at the polls and still lose — if the sum of all her partners is greater than the sum of all her opponents. (it is similar to Germany’s political system).

On paper right now, it will be a very nearly run thing.

G-d love you, m'friend. Don't know your electoral system, and wouldn't criticise for a moment (ours is as goofy as you like, of course).

I do hope you good folks find some way of putting Clark out to grass, or better still, on some atoll somewhere.

FReegards!
