Hey. I don't really know much about what happened to the Australian Labour Party.
Good old Helen Clarke (Labour Party) just managed to scrape into parliament (as PM) this time around.
Phew
PhewI still have problems with the NZ Labour Party, don't get me wrong...
But I have to say that I do think their hearts are in the right place, though the implementation of that leaves a lot to be desired sometimes.I was looking at the history of state housing in New Zealand...
Labour Party built them...
National would sell them...
Labour Party would buy them back...
National would sell them...And so it would continue.
Welfare / Environment (Reasonable quality of life for all and SUSTAINABLE development) vs. the ideal of unlimited economic / material growth at fairly much whatever cost to the poor and the environment.
Labour vs National.
At least... Thats the way I see it.
Hmm.
