You wont be forgotten Sue

Sue Bradford is packing up her office, and its actually quite a sad occasion, Sue Bradford is grat a smart, clever sharp shooter, who has seen it and been there: She comes from an old school that has real Morales and principals, she has a bottom line and she sticks to it.

Made Uber famous over the Anti Smacking bill, which in a Nation that has the highest child murders in the developed world, obviously was not warmly received and the interesting thing was she was made to look stupid:

An absolute up roar parents took to the streets and got a referendum over weather or not they should be able to lightly smack their children:

My god am I ashamed of this country, the only thing that gets them going are the All Blacks losing, light bulbs and smacking kids: The state of sending your kids onto the street to campaign that they wanted to be smacked: How many kids you know want to be smacked:

Come on parents I might take you seriously when less of you are ripping the DPB, or even if you are on their properly, just not on their at all: If you have kids, make sure you can afford the bloody things:

Surely there are much more pressing issues of the day than weather or not you can smacka kid: We are putting kids in the dryer, hanging them on the line, and beating them senseless: And they toast that they got 87% of those who voted to Yes lets lightly smack our kids: which then moved the debate to how hard you can smack you kids, and other ways you can enforce punishment:

Parents today are a dangerous breed, brought up on Oprah and Dr Phil, they want everything, and they want it now, but they dont want to pay, and if they can get it for free, or over someone else even better:

Giving your children the best or better than you had is one thing, but turning it into a selfish game is another.

Sue done well she held her head high and she fought it out with the best, she was handed a number of huge blows along with Fitzsimons, who I think its interesting as she stood down first, but Sue exits stage left first, on to bigger and better things I feel.

Ms Turei does represent a new and fresh face, Intelligence, this is a bad mix: Her cocky side kick together they know too much, say big long words and may be too sophisticated for most in a world where we wear jandals:

Sue is much more down to earth, which is why she is leaving, its not cause she didnt get her way, although partly: She just knows when enough is enough:

The greens will grow, but they will isolate the real crucial vote they need, Conservatives: Humble people with high Morales, whom dont like to be told to or looked down on: We want to hear facts but we dont want spin.

Sue may go on to Local Government ticket with Len Brown, I dont know if that will happen but I don think she would make a great councilor, and we need someone with her ideas in this new local system.
