But as I said this tells us so much about Clark. He is quoted extensively in the media as an expert on extremism, yet he is so extreme himself that he declares Meager to be a class traitor purely because he was born into a poor family and decided to become a national Party MP. Doesn't that tell you so much about his inability to be rational.
Now Clark has every right to declare James to be a class traitor. Please keep it up. But the ones who should take note are the media who repeatedly quote him and interview him as some sort of impartial expert on extremism, when he has made it clear that he regards anyone not on the left of politics as repugnant.

Not that long ago Byron would have use uppity in his insults.
Class? The left just love to divide people into groups. Can Clark tell us what the criteria is for each class?
Who on earth condemns some one to be a certain ‘type’ because of socioeconomic background, race, etc. surely we can think for ourselves and make our own decisions. The arrogance of saying you cannot make your own decisions is awful.
Of course there are consequences with decisions but that is all part of the personal process.
I was raised in a staunch Labour household in the fifties. I have never voted Labour. I am quarter Maori and I am a registered mental health professional. I applaud this young man's stance
