Opposition
My night shift went quite slowly last night. I slept in this morning until 1pm and it is now nearly midnight and i am still wide awake. I have my christmas lights in the lounge flashing and christmas is on its way.
The New Zealand news has been full of politics today. The opposition National Party have elected a new leader. They are to the right of politics and were not keen on implementing the civil union bill that was passed two years ago. In fact, most of the party voted against it. It has also turned out that they have been getting money from extremist right religious groups both here and in the United States.
The tragic thing is that the new leader is quite popular and i think that the 2008 election will see them gain popularity. Oh the joys of politics!
Tomorrow I am packing for my long trip to New York. I havent done a list but i think it will all come to me as to what i will need.

On the political side of things, I shudder. As you very well know, I would think, those same neo-cons destroyed the US over the last decade. Let us hope that the folks in NZ are smarter and more more savvy.
Politics is growing smellier and smellier all over the world as populist neocons thrive like poisenous mushrooms... Even the socialists in power around here are keeping the rightwing parties quite pleased... Obnoxious!
Let's hope people in NZ are wise enough not to fall for such idiots!
Have a nice day, Kevin!
