Life without Helen

I am even more mystified than usual by the mind of the great unwashed. The lateset poll puts the Nats a pleasantly long way in front of Labour. All well and good but it is early days yet, remember. Then in the same paragraph Bloody Helen is still reported as preferred Prime Minister. Will those who are entrusted with a vote please be a bit more careful with their thought processes. You are approaching this government business from completely the wrong angle.

At the moment Labour is Helen Clark. Just think about it. What would the Labour Party be left with if our Dear Leader were to be run over by a bus this morning? (Don't tempt me) There would be but an empty shell. Phil Goof is touted as the next leader but is he even remotely PM material? Of course not. You have to approach this government lark from a policy standpoint and not a personality stance. Quite what part of Helen's personality appeals to anyone is quite beyond me but that has nothing to do with it.

There is nothing going on at the moment. Cavers and red moons are front page news and that gives a fair indication of the level of activity on the news front. John Armstrong gives a comment on the apparent short term failure of Labour's smear campaigns but points out that strategy may well be that all this needs some time to take full effect. I don't know about that but we are in desparate need of something to actually happen.

When does Philip Field go to trial?
