So....John “smile & wave” Key suddenly advocates what GREENs MPs have been advocating for years.
I wonder why he suddenly decides to copy the GREENs point of view on this issue now?
Perhaps it could be because “smile & wave” only has two principles....“power at all costs”, and “popularity” (to facilitate the first principle); and he has suddenly woken up to the fact that the public don't like snouts in the trough, so he suddenly pushes the same line as the GREENs. Except that the GREENs have had that view for many years for moral reasons, whereas Jonkey is now pushing that view for political cynicism and popularity purposes. It's a bit like Bill English only being concerned that his housing rort was a “bad look” when he should have been admitting it was “morally wrong!”
Well as long as that is the idea of the green party that they use and don't decide to use any of their other crazy ideas and send us back to wearing loan clothes!
