Simon Bridges, National's (Unfortunate) Erstwhile Leader...Left/Bowed Out with Fine Flourish, Arguably His Greatest Moment In Politics, NZ INC...So It's Sad He'll Never Get the Opportunity to Lead our Nation...

But who's to say that securing the top job is necessarily the greatest mark one can leave on one's nation? 

Whatever else you ever manage to view in the Hansard, do make a point of viewing Bridges' valedictory...there're so many treasures contained therein that it's almost a showcase of what Parliament should really be all about...but sadly isn't and will never be...

Wednesday May 20th: Events now well and truly having moved on by now, let me nevertheless post what I scribbled in my notebook on Friday the 16th following the previous afternoon's post-Budget day addresses - by Bridges et al... Mr Bridges Shows his Quality At Last Resiling from ye standard politically partisan post-Budget 'No Confidence' motion in the Government (of the day) as has been delivered by any and every Opposition leader 'from time and immemorial', National's leader (for the time being, anyhow) Simon Bridges delivered an extremely balanced and temperate response to the financial largesse to be bestowed as per the Finance Minister's Third Budget...
