This week’s clue is: a politician
CLUE 1 (10pts): I used to be a man of "principal" before becoming a member of parliament.
CLUE 2 (8pts): The welfare and education of the Nation’s children are very important to me and I possess the mental capacity to connect and communicate effortlessly with the youngest of them.
CLUE 3 (6pts): My favourite song is Jailhouse Rock, followed closely by Prison Blues, Band on the Run and I Ain’t Going to Rehab…no…no…no!
CLUE 4 (4pts): I may not look it, but I belong to a powerful elite which believes in governing for ALL 17% of “real” New Zealanders.
CLUE 5 (2pts): I share my name with a famous scientist and, just like him, I’m able to achieve absolute zero…. in every task and position assigned to me.
Well, how did you do?
For those who failed miserably the answer will be revealed next week.

Don't see why KD should take all the flak - he's got at least as much as his colleague WJ, and possible twice as much as the man with the hat.
Why bother with games. Parliament is a big enough circus on its own with resident clowns in cowboy hats, hideously painted faces and dress varying from used car salesman's suits to beachwear. Various women have blue dribble dripping down their chins and the Speaker wears a frilly thing around his shoulders like a pre-schooler running around the playground with angel wings pinned to its back. The spirit of Monty Python reigns in the Chamber.
