his majesty’s loyal opposition

the National party seem to have forgotten a few of the words out of their job title. they are surely “his majesty’s loyal opposition”. this in itself has positive connotations. to me, it means that their job is to provide checks and balances for the current government, to point out things that they may have missed, present issues from a different angle and agree when their oppos are doing a good job. all the blues do is oppose and criticise every decision the government makes, simply because it was their idea. childish and pathetic. unhelpful too. but how else can you grab power for yourselves and abuse a weary, battered population? let’s be honest: the National party only want to make life better for rich people. end of chat.
