GONE BY LUNCHTIME

So MMP has finally bit us on the arse. I know that we have had to put up with a lot of crap over the last 20 odd years with Peters, Hide et al, but the true horribleness of it now surfaces with that silly old has-been Brash ditching the National party to slip up ACT like some sort of candiru going up a urethra. Listening to him being interviewed over the last week has been like a visit to the proctologist. When really pushed, he finally responded to Mary's and Catherine's probing questions with the admission that he was hedging his bets, covering his arse and 'having a plan B", meaning that if he couldn't get the ACT leadership he would revert back to that other party of old blazers - National. So, Don Brash heading up ACT. Yippee. What will he do? Outlaw poverty. Ban bolshie wimmin. Stop borrowing from overseas. Dig up our National parks. Sell our children. Just wait and see.
