Is it the time for fucking stupid statements?
1: Read Mike's Minute on NZH this morning I note a repeat of a comment seen quite often over the last week or two that the next British Prime Minister (The bloke who runs the place) is "unelected by Britain".
Of course he bloody is!
Britain, like New Zealand, Australia and a few other countries DO NOT ELECT a bloke to run the place. They elect a Government (or in the case of New Zealand a shower of shit selected from narrow-interest groups who MAY form a Government)
Burnham will be a duly elected MP who has been elected by his peers to lead the Pom Labour Party and, as they currently form the Government, he will be, by default, the Prime Minister.
This is as close as Kingdoms get to electing a 2IC.
2: On a blog a few days ago I read a comment that the troller could not criticise an immigration policy because it (the commenter) was "descended for immigrants" At least 99.999999999999999999999% of the planet are descended from immigrants. If there actually is a single human not "descended from immigrants" he/she will be in deepest, darkest Africa (and unlikely to be commenting or reading a minor New Zealand blog.
The country's in trouble when even the trolling is substandard.
