OPINION
Sir Bob Jones

A recent issue of Britain’s, The Guardian, always a source of amusement with its ludicrously excessive left-wing silliness, bemoaned the likelihood of the coming Labour defeat in New Zealand.
To give you an idea of the “quality” of this article, take this line.
“It seemed at a time to be a safe bet that New Zealand would continue a recent history of giving governments of both persuasion, nine years at the top before the political metronome swung back like clockwork, set to a uniquely kiwi beat”.
Let’s look at the facts.
Since the end of the first Labour government in 1949 there’s been 5 more. They’ve lasted respectively, 3 years, 3 years, 6 years, 9 years and 6 years. In short, contrary to the article, Labour have had only one 9-year term and not five. That was the Clarke government which Helen sustained by largely running a National type administration of not rocking the boat.
This garbage was contributed by a trendy-lefty Sydney so-called public relations outfit.
Despite this criticism, I confess I’d be lost without The Guardian, it having provided me with rich material in my various comic novels, in which I portray them always getting the wrong end of the stick.
