Chris Finlayson

The Herald today profiles Chris Finlayson. Chris is very experienced in the area of Treaty settlements and his appointment to this role for National is great. He will be respected by all parties.

I also like his quote:

Does the party need to be more centrist and, if so, why?

I always talk about liberal conservatism and the party’s always best when it has both those traditions alive and well. Coming back to the first question, the other big thing that’s dawned on me is that regardless of what people might think of the big two parties being Tweedledum and Tweedledee, there are profound differences and I see those differences.
