carpetbaggers 'r us. tomorrows election...

 what has happened in new zealand politics is that the nationals party has parachuted in its last two leaders.

both committed to the neo-lib neo-con ideology of grabbing everything you can whenever you get the main chance and then retire to somewhere exotic to supervise your portfolios at leisure.

on the other side is the so called left committed to some sort of social equality and opportunity.

two forces dressed to the max decorating what is now the obvious end game of industrial capitalism, further scarce resources and more energy to pump up the consmer lead fountain of taxation to maintain the bloated beast and full steam ahead till it kicks the bucket and fuck the rest. hmmmmmmm
