Has nopthing to do with the fact that hes been in the same job for almost 15 years and might be looking for a change...he is economically 'dry' so where else would he go? You will note that he has avoided your beloved ACT, from which we can deduce that he has both a heart and a brain ;-)

If you are not a socialist at 18, you do not have a heart. If you are still a socialist at 28, you do not have a brain....

Brash is a conservative, not a liberal (in the traditional sense of course, not the stupid Amercianised attempt by the "liberals" to legitimise socialism) so National was the obvious choice for him. ACT would have been too liberal I think. I say good on him!
