Mike at Own Your Brand asked how things went for us at the General Election. Not brilliantly in that we did not secure seats, but I think it was important to at least get word out about our party, about the same-again nature of National, which voted for the same bills that people said they hated Labour for, and provide an alternative. It was a pity we faced a media blackout for the most part (for Americans: Nader and Barr got more coverage), and that many protest votes went to Bill & Ben, a party started by two celebrities from one of my favourite TV shows. I say roll on ’11, and in the meantime, we need to make sure PM-designate John Key keeps his word on being a centrist and not a far-right Morgan Stanley-alum technocrat, and that the Architect of Doom, Sir Roger Douglas, Friend of the Rich, has zero influence on our affairs.
