Barrie Davis: UK and NZ Politics

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but there have recently been a number of significant issues in UK politics which I have not seen reported in The Post and I wonder if that is because of concerns that there are similarities with New Zealand politics which could inflame the passions of your otherwise docile colonist.

Recent polls in the UK show that right-wing party Reform UK, led by charismatic Nigel Farage of Brexit fame, is eight points ahead of the Labour Government led by PM Sir Keir Starmer: Labour are on 22%, the Tories have declined to 21% and Reform has increased to 30%. Pundits are suggesting that traditional party loyalties are breaking down.
