I’ve always had an opinion on most things, especially those political. Having your Dad share his opinion on almost every item on the 6 o’clock news for 18 years would teach anyone to do so. However, and whilst I’m sure my friends and family would disagree, I’m not always the best at voicing these opinions. This blog will provide me an opportunity to do so.
My political opinions are based around strong beliefs in equality, social justice and environmental stewardship, thus are Of The Left. Whilst I have spent many years throwing my allegiance between the Labour and Green parties, working on Clare Curran’s successful campaign for Dunedin South last year and seeing how Labour has re-grouped and re-energised after the loss of government, has helped me finally find a political home. On Monday I will join the New Zealand Labour Party.
