A blogger’s breakfast!

Former Labour Prime Minister Mike Moore has described the Electoral Finance Act
as a “blogger’s breakfast”.  I love that term. Some extracts:

“It was rushed, badly drafted, can’t be understood, (is) full of inviting loopholes, amendments were made at the last minute without scrutiny, and it’s a blogger’s breakfast,” said Moore, also former director of the World Trade Organisation.

… “I tried to tell old friends that it was wrong in principle, wrong in substance, and will do the opposite of what its authors planned.

“People are going to deliberately test the law and the courts will be in an impossible situation.

“This will be great election year sport because it’s the solemn duty, even obligation, of citizens in a democracy to take on the powerful.”

Indeed it is.
