One of the things I have always felt about UnitedFuture is that we do not practice politics as usual. That was reinforced for me to day when the debate on the Emissions Trading Bill began. The Labour spokesperson, Mr Chauvel, admitted that Labour had only minimal differences with National, and would have compromised in National's favour, but for National beginning separate negotiations with the Maori Party. In other words, all Labour's huff and puff now, is no more than a simpering smokescreen for the fact that National did a deal with the Mori Party, and not Labour. A classic case of little-boy "not fair" prancing tantrums, with no regard for the public interest. Utterly hypocritical behaviour by shaloow people.
