When you let pedo-friendly pinkos run law and order you get the debacle we had this week on alcohol reform by Pedobear Simon Power.
He should resign. And go back to defence.
“where Britain, the United States and Australia go, we go”
At least he understands we are on the blue team, not the red team, or the yellow team.
There has also be a poignant lesson from across the Tasman in the past week
Those who follow Australian politics know that Tony Abbott turfed out Malcolm Turnbull in a spill about 9 months from the election. Abbott won the leadership because Turnbull was getting a hiding from Rudd, and the coalition had real doubts about climate change. The graph below is pretty forthright. Abbott takes over a train wreck, and miraculously fixes it up and gets within a whisker of winning.
The difference between Abbott and Turnbull is Abbott understood that being in opposition means opposing. Not pandering to the doctors wives etc, but getting in and beating the crap out of your opponent, day in, day out, so they fear going into the house or fronting the media because you have put them under so much pressure they start making mistakes.
Unfortunately for Tony he opposed so well the ALP knifed Rudd and put in Gillard, and the dynamics of the race change having a woman prime minister. Regardless of this, Tony gave the Libs a chance by hammering away at the ALP, and now has a chance of being prime minister.
If readers think about what this means in New Zealand, at some stage National will go into opposition, and at some stage John Key will no longer be leader. National MPs then will have to choose who is going to lead them against Labour. If we follow the Australian experience, a wet or a member of the liberal elite is going to be useless. Someone tough who isn’t afraid of a scrap or taking a few hits will put you back in play far quicker than a wet.
This means that National MPs would be outright insane to have Bill English as leader, especially after his 20.93% in 2002. Aspiring presumptive leader (in his own mind), the pedo-friendly Simon Power is another wet in the Malcolm Turnbull mold and he will get a hiding too. The stand out contender when National goes into opposition or when the going gets tough in Government has to be Judith Collins because everyone knows she will oppose, not wring her hands in anguish when the nasty Labour Party do something monumentally stupid that is likely to fuck things up for us all.
