1197493	2011-04-29 04:32:00	"He has never stood for a seat in Parliament" According to Wiki: " Brash's first entry into politics came in 1980 when the National Party selected him to stand as its candidate in the by-election in the East Coast Bays electorate. Brash's attempt at the seat, however, failed — some believe that this resulted from the decision by Robert Muldoon, National Party Prime Minister, to raise tolls on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, an important route for East Coast Bays residents. The seat went to Gary Knapp of the Social Credit Party. Brash again failed to win the seat at the general election of 1981."	martynz (5445)

He has never stood for a seat in Parliament; he has frequently said Working for Families must go; He has expressed the wish to chop student loans; he believes those deserving folk on a benefit should have serious reduction in benefit; he believes workers are overpaid; he would reduce tax for the wealthy. So let's see: you don't like Don Brash because he has political views. Because he has ideas and can argue them in depth. Because - unusually for a politician - he doesn't make personal attacks on other people despite the attacks on him. Sounds like an ethical principled man.	Winston001 (3612)
1197496	2011-04-29 10:40:00	(snip) Sounds like an ethical principled man. The only ethic or principle he follows is greed. Or 'devil take the hindmost'. Or 'the rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate dadedadeda God ordered their estate'. I think the latter is the only thing he heard from his father's ministry.	John H (8)
1197497	2011-04-29 10:42:00	Great - another psychopath wanting to run the country. Most of these power junkies don't feel anything below the neck. It's all head stuff, cooked up by the brain. I think we could run this chunk of rock we live on quite well without politicians and their lavish fantasies about how the rest of us should live. Good riddance to the lot of them.	braindead (1685)

Didn't he have a go at Helen Clark about her support for civil unions etc. re the sanctity of marriage then it emerged that he had been playing away himself, twice!!!!	martynz (5445)

I believe that this 'ethical principled man' did feel something below the neck (or rather he was feeling something below someone else's neck), when he was playing away from home during his second marriage.
