| 1197471 | 2011-04-28 02:51:00 | I think Don Brash taking over will be a positive thing. It will help National get back in with a right wing partner. It may also put a bit of pressure on National to start doing a bit more and getting tougher on crime etc. It will be interesting to see Bill's budget next month. He is going to be forced to make quite a few cuts. |

Doesn't want to stand as an electorate candidate or anything. |

Look at all the parasitic List members that are given plumb jobs, Cullen and Hughes in their day to name two no-hopers. There are many more. If you can't win an electoral seat by standing, you don't deserve a position of power in any Gov't. |

Doesn't want to stand as an electorate candidate or anything. True - He should start of as a candidate or similar, but DB seems to be only interested in Leadership positions (perhaps used to top governing type positions) which require wide reaching/nz wide policies (for better or worse). Candidate position probably be demeaning/trivial to him. Talking about shaking hands, it is soft, when I met him for about 5s at Manukau Hayman park for Waitangi celebrations a few years back. He did quip something, which I could not hear properly.Though he looked out of place in the crowd, but I sensed a very astute/clever man for his age, if that accounts today in politics. But whether if he can implement his policies effectively is another thing... |
