Even MPs are human

A sad reminder that MPs can crack under the stress, like anyone else, with John Brogden trying to kill himself last night – obviously as a result of the scandal which forced him from the state leadership. Further allegations have come out also.

A more pleasant reminder of MPs being “normal” was the Holmes interview on Prime last night with Helen Clark and Peter Davis and Don and Je Lan Brash. I thought both couples came across well and talked very naturally about their relationships.
