Hear hear!! And Blunder - you know what they say about all work no play...although we are flattered that you would spend your playtime chatting with raving right-wingers, perhaps you are wavering in your political orientation somewhat? More power to you! Nothing would give me more pleasure than to wave bye-bye to Helen at the next election....so long as we are waving hello to Jenny (or Bill) or Richard and not Jim or Jeanette (god forbid!!)

I would watch out, that "we" you use sounds a mite collectivist. Actually, I voted National/Act in 1996 but never again...The way National jumped into bed with NZ First left a bad taste in my mouth. Jenny Shipley is an empty vessel and Prebble is a venal populist, almost as bad as Winnie. Bill English might be a different story; the fact that he has yet to stab Jenn in the back like she did to Bolger might suggest he has some scruples. I like to read Freerepublic/Townhall etc to avoid confirmation bias.
