It is with huge relief that I read that Bob Clarkson has moved to the Act Party. During his short stint as MP for Tauranga, Clarkson made a name for himself in Parliament with his vacuous mis-cues causing much embarrassment to the National Party. What a relief to have him replaced by our hard-working MP Simon Bridges.
Clarkson admitted he was out of his depth in Parliament but he should be quite at home in the Act Party with similar people. Clarkson's main and magnificent achievement was getting rid of Winston Peters. He and Don Brash both suffer from foot-in-the -mouth disease so he will be in good company. Brash by name and brash by nature.

Some may call baby, and cute cuddly animal kissing and photo opportunity seeking as hard working, but not me. Some may call toeing the party line without individual thought or principles an asset, but once again those are not things I look for in a candidate either. Give me Brash over 100 of the other principle-bereft placebos any day.

Be it National or Act it is still all rather embarrassing.

NATIONAL, ACT, LABOUR, NZ FIRST, GREENS etc in the end they are all the same.People like Ms Brooks with fixations about party politics set in concrete, tunnelled vision and unwilling to see past the end of their nose should be avoided like the plague.
