Bye Don
Blog has been down so most will know by now Don Brash is leaving Parliament this year. National owes him a great deal for the increase in votes, members and money he brought in.
I’ll look forward to atending his valedictory speech.
And while I was not keen to lose Don from Parliament, one upside is that Wellington gains an additional National MP with Katrina Shanks replacing Don. This now gives three MPs (Blumsky, Finlayson, Shanks) to cover the Wellington area, plus neigbours Hayes and Guy up the east and west coasts.
