Shopping in Tauranga, I happened to come across Winston Trump Peters, better known as Winston First, with the same old message I heard as Auckland vice chair for NZF many years ago. There is a very strong resemblance between Trump and Peters; both are never wrong and must always have their own way. One must remember Muldoon schooled Winston in the art of control over all things and everyone on the team. The plan is as old as time itself: tell everyone that you alone can save the country and its people. Some will believe and give you the power to get a good position in whatever party wins, and you might get a few of your loyal team in who have demonstrated that there is only one Winston First and his position is paramount above all else. There are not many perfect people left in this life; only Winston remains.
