Vote. National

*Sigh* They'd be as bad as the current lot in terms of political expediency, it's just that the other half would be gnashing and wailing about the subtle differences in political flavour...there's no will or ability to bring about rapid political change, such as reforms of the 80's, under MMP - probably good, as the potential for rapid change under a unicameral FFP system with no overarching supreme law was rather alarming.

Hopefully global warming will ease our glacial slide to hell in a handcart. For quicker or slower I do not know.

(BTW - glacial and hell coexisting in a sentence? I know it falls short of a mixed metaphor, but it feels...linguisitically odd. Has the season affected you Hitcher? What is the BDOTGNZA position on such an oddity?)

Nighthawk for PM... resistance is futile...

The Brave Defenders believe that there is nothing better than a howlingly good mixed metaphor. By celebrating this art form, perhaps the metaphoristi will be caught by the crest of the wave that sweeps them to the top of the tree. Or perhaps the tide of opinion will leave them as the only pebble on the beach.

The Brave Defenders also believe that given the season of goodwill and all, drawing attention to the misspelling of linguistically would be churlish. Merry Christmas!

Perhaps the missing 'i' did decide it belonged in 'team' after all...
