The only reason Seymour and Peters are that power is that Luxon was too weak in negotiations. Rather than push them he rolled over like a Labrador puppy.
an excellent read Mike, and certainly resonates with much of my angst about the power puppies, and you didn't even mention Jones. Such self control Mike.
A friend who would possibly not call himself one now, and who would be labelled a Christo Fascist P2025 type now ................he once said that the most perfect head of state or system is that of having a king, if you have a good one. And I guess it would be one that isn't propped up by a peerage of priviledge, barons, knights et al. I wonder purely out of interest, since we have opened the can of worms, what people think about that.
For me the wonder is how parties have become so diabolically and stoically opposed that they cannot find a common dialectic. For the good of the country. They have to find oppositions antithetical.
Another good read Mike. I agree wholeheartedly with you.......and keep on repeating.....how is it that 2 parties who attracted a minor proportion of the vote now have such a huge influence over decisions made by this government?

Agitate for change. It doesn’t have to be like this
