ACT split?

[Ronin]

I wondered about that for a while - the small partner in the MMP Governments has been able to wag the dog, so to speak.

Can't think of a way around that though.

It is more of a statistical aberration. Traditionally aberrations are taken out the back and shot.

Ohhhh Rodney....

Bring back Jack Marshall, Brian Talboys, Duncan McIntyre etc....

"Gentleman" Jack...who was handy with the political stiletto, "Brian the Tallboy wonder" and Duncan, et al, at least had an awareness of the social implications of their actions on the Nation as a whole and were rather more centrist than the current mob. Sliding money and perks to your mates was a much more subtle and hush hush procedure, in those days.......in fact, Jack, would have knifed Rodney and co in the political back, within months of taking office......

But Key cannot afford to get rid of, or allow anyone else to get rid of Hide, becuase that would get rid of all the ACT seats, leaving the moari party to become the dog wagger
