JC: The (De)Parting of the Red Sea

The election result has almost biblical connotations, such was the magnitude of the defeat. As one who believes religion and politics should be kept at arm’s length, I hesitate to draw any similarities. But politically speaking we have had the parting of the Red Sea of many of the left-wing incumbents, and we do see Christopher Luxon as something of a saviour. We hope there will be a resurrection of the country from the damage that has been done. We hope he will breathe new life into a dying nation.
