Robson on National

Matt Robson's latest newsletter shows a fascination (or an obsession) with the National Party.

He claims that the Nats:
  • Can't agree on leadership
  • Can't agree on policy
  • Can't agree on drug policy
  • Can't agree on alcohol age policy
  • And so on ...
Of course, we all know that the Progressive Party has the most united caucus in Parliament.

But then, that's the difference between being a Party with almost 50 MPs and thousands of members and having a solitary MP and not having any members to distribute leaflets.

In fact, if the Progressive Party can't find a dozen or so people in Auckland (remember that's home to a third of the population of New Zealand) to support a candidate in a by-election you really must question whether they have the required 500 members nationwide to be legally registered as a party.
