Beware The Prime Minister …

Thursday 25 July 2002

Beware The Prime Minister …

Wellington Central Alliance candidate and political bard Robert Reid finished his campaign in style last night.

The Karori Candidates meeting was a much more sedate affair than the Opera House or Aro Valley meetings. Interjections were rare, policy was actually debated.

In his sum up Robert Reid commented that what the meeting gained in policy debate it lost in entertainment. So as not to disappoint people he moved from Shakespeare to Sam Hunt to make his final point on future coalition arrangements.

Beware the Prime Minister who tries to fit you out with her idea of a Government
Dictating the colour and shape of it
Saying you can have any coalition partner as long as its Jim
Beware, none of us here are voting for him.

This brought the house down and got the biggest applause of the night.
