Quoting Jordan

Jordan Carter is blogging from the Australian Labor Party’s Federal Conference. Overseas political conferences are always fun – both politically and socially.

Anyway one thing Jordan said is:

The party over all is united and hungry to win.

With an opponent like Howard, how could they not be? That man is loathsome. His lies and abuses of power, culminating in the attacks on the rights of working Australians through his industrial law reforms, challenge the social democratic heritage of Australia to its very core. The good thing is that now Labor has chosen an electable leader, the public appears to be putting some scrutiny on Howard and his mob – and finding them somewhat wanting.

Now how could that be adapted for say back home:

The party over all is united and hungry to win.

With an opponent like Clark, how could they not be? That woman is loathsome. Her lies and abuses of power, culminating in the attacks on the rights of New Zealanders through her electoral law reforms, challenge the democratic heritage of New Zealand to its very core. The good thing is that now National has chosen an electable leader, the public appears to be putting some scrutiny on Clark and her mob – and finding them somewhat wanting.

Incidentally the latest Roy Morgan polls have the ALP leading the Coalition by 50% to 36% and in NZ have National leading Labour 46% to 34%.
