Interesting. We are not surprised but the proximity to the US election seems a bit strange. We can't see either a Democrat or a Republican victory as sending a positive message to the Clark/Peters Government.
Clearly 3 hostile editorials and the news that the Labour whip has also been suppressing the truth about Helen's real Deputy was too much, so a distraction was necessary. What better than the election date.
So instead of reading tomorrow about scampi, about which transport company has been donating to a political party that voted for option B, and boxing visits to Las Vegas, we will be reading about the election.
That is fine. We like the idea of a vote for Labor being a vote for continuing NZ First taint to our Government, and a vote for NZ First being a vote for Labour-led Government.
