Its getting tough to continue being a moderate Centre-Rightist these days as Western society appears to be slowly unravelling.
Its even tougher when you find out stuff like this:
Key, who served three terms as prime minister from 2008 to 2016, revealed his preferences in a quick-fire round of 20 questions that featured at the end of a new online series calledBoth Sides Now, hosted by members of the Labour and National youth wings.When asked whether he would have voted Clinton or Trump had he been in the US in 2016, Key replied: Trump. But I mean, you know, Im a right-wing voter, Im never voting left.
This is terrible. I had been assured by people in a position to know that most of the National Party supported Barack Obama, and by extension, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
Fortunately the new leader of National has assured worried voters that his favourite US President was Obama. Also, Key wasnt asked if he would have voted for Trump in 2020, although that may be a foregone conclusion given his other comments.
Meantime, rumours abound that Hollywood, as part of the rising campaign of anti-racism, is looking at re-booting some of the classics.
