From RAM to Winston

A reader has pointed out to me the unusual political journey of Curwen Rolinson. Curwen just last year was the Auckland Chairman of RAM – the socialist party to the left of the Alliance. And he stood for them in the 2008 election.

Now in 2010 he is on the board of NZ First, and heads up their Young NZ First section.

Now I think it is good that NZ First has a dedicated section for their members aged under 80.

But I do wonder how one goes from a party that “has a very strong policy of anti-racism and particularly of supporting Muslim migrants to integrate into New Zealand society” to supporting the Winston First party.

Next I guess we’ll see the President of Act on Campus dating the local chair of Young Labour – oh wait a second ….
