Cam Slater: Brown Bread Politics is Banal

I describe the advent of MMP as the brown breading of politics. No one really likes brown bread (with the sole exception of Vogel’s). What I am talking about is what MMP has created in politics: a kind of tasteless, supposedly good-for-us style of politics that gravitates towards the middle and the tyranny of the masses.

We’ve lost the good old-fashioned conviction politicians who tried to do the right thing, and replaced them with poll-driven fruitcakes who believe in nothing, stand for even less and fall for everything.
