Michael Appleton - in transit, Auckland/Papeete/Los
Angeles/London

Even if I
think the result of an election isn't all that important,
because the differences between the two (or more) candidates
are largely superficial, I still follow it with relish. Why?
Because election campaigns at their best can be very much
like test cricket at its best: enthralling, the fortunes of
the two sides waxing and waning, commentators providing
amusing and faux-intellectual analysis, etc. Politics can be
fun to follow in the way sport is.
