Double standards for double-dipping

Prime Minister John Key has criticised local New Zealand First candidate Clayton Mitchell for what he calls 'double dipping”.

That's Clayton standing for Parliament while occupying a councillor position on Tauranga City Council.

In doing this, Key fails to mention that after the last election 2011 there were five MPs sitting on local councils, as well as being MPs for their party.

Is this then just another of the PM's well-known ‘brain fades'?

Or is it evidence of double standards when it suits?
