We can hope.

The last lot of statistics I saw suggested that
nearly all of her supporters were or are National Party
supporters.  Maybe they see her as a female version of
Joh

I think she's more like a female version of Adolf.

The one thing I still haven't worked out is why the press
always give her so much coverage.  If they just ignored
her maybe she'd just shrivel up and die.

Cheers
Mike
