Labour PM Gets It Right
That’s former Labour PM, Mike Moore in today’s Herald - MPs Forgiven Too Readily.
Highlights:
- New Zealand is “beginning to adopt third world standards in some areas.”
- “MPs and ministers in many countries have resigned through pure shame for less.”
- “Proportional representation has acted as a muzzle on free speech and the logic of serious debate.”
- “Sleaze seems too easily forgiven.”
Moore concludes that politicians, like babies’ nappies, need changing often, and for the same reasons.
If I think it’s time for regime change, that’s one thing. When a former Labour Prime Minister is saying, “you’re sleazy and corrupt - it’s time to go,” they have a far more serious problem.
