<who's running NZ these days ?> Hi Kumar. A combination of Helen Clark [again] with her socialist bureaucrat authoritarians in Helengrad, her old buddy Jim Anderton, who has come in from the cold with two members and a media-sponsored United Party with Peter Dunne grateful to have his lot in as seat warmers on higher salaries. But also, the United Nations lays down this, that and the other 'international law' without legal foundation and voted on by unelected barbarians around the world. Also, the USA gives guidance and pressure and trade barriers. The WTO [run by a good Kiwi Bloke, ex Prime Minister [unelected] Mike Moore] also sets down some rules. Then we all dabble here and there with our own bit of influence. Nobody controls swing votes. Swingers lunge around in the polling booth and as Flora McDonald found in Canada when Joe Who won the election and Prime Ministership when she threw a fit when her anticipated voters didn't in fact do what they said they'd do and swung her support behind Joe Who, in spite. If Peter Dunne's United Party swing votes don't swing it, Helen Clark will switch her request for support to stay in power to the Greens. Meanwhile, we have a war on our hands [Saddam, Osama and co, with East Timor still to be civilized and a few other United Nations projects to be supported]. Mqurice
