I am enjoying the Labour Party trying to select a new leader. I think it wonderful that a Harvard trained, Boston Consulting candidate states that he will buy back any sold Government assets. I have come across many Harvard, Yale and London School of Economics graduates over the past 20 years in the various consulting firms such as Boston Consulting or McKinsey. I think I can state that I have not met one who has not been an enthusiastic proponent of selling. I would love to see Cunnliffe give good economic reasons for his stance. I suspect they would be contrary to his training, experience and real views. I think he is prepared to say anything to get the baubles of office.
I see that Kerre Woodham on her talkback show says many callers are astonished to discover that voting for Winnie means you also get the collections of loopies and ratbags into Parliament with him. They didn't realise!
As a 15 year old I was complaining to my father I knew more about politics than most adults but was not allowed to vote in the election being held that day (I was a very keen student of politics). The following day after church, my parents were standing at the church door with some parishioners discussing the election result. One of our neighbours stated "I didn't know who to vote for so I voted for Mary H...... because she had a good christian name." I suppressed a laugh and my father grinned and winked at me. Mary H..... had been standing as the Communist Party candidate and had done so for the past 3 elections. Our neighbour would have been horrified had she realised. Oh God and they let these people vote.
