However he will do so against the background in which for the first time since he faced Tony Blair, a genuine rival has emerged. Gordon Brown spent the good part of decade hounding Tony Blair for the Premiership and destabilizing his government as a consequence. So now the boot is finally on somebody else's foot - the Blairite David Miliband. 'Poetic justice' some may say. Brown is now so obviously the underdog that I'm starting to think better of him. Funny how that is.

The catalysis for this blog was my dislike for the Clark'n Cullen Labour govt - particularly their transgressions during the 2005 general election & treatment of then opposition leader Don Brash.
However, I'm not anti-Labour & consider myself a political moderate. I'm looking forward to someday voting for a Labour Party which isn't all about 'tax and spend', is happy with NZ's current constituational arrangement (i.e. keeping the monachy), and isn't controlled by the unions.
I won't hold my breath.
I'm an avid reader of Kiwiblog.
