the anything-but brigade
Liz Gordon at The Socialist Press writes on the start-up of the so-called “anything-but brigade”. I don’t know… she seems to be implying that I’m working together with People Power. That I’m just a front for some “Right-wing faction”. I like Whaleoil’s comment: “Like most sooky journo’s she is puss faced that we get more readership than them and that we can put together more commentary in a day than she can manage in a month of Sundays.” Click here for Scrubone’s response. Below are a couple of excerpts from her article…
…Campaigns like People Power and “Don’t Vote Labour” are not what they seem.
What they are is part of a strategy by various Right-wing factions to use laws that many people don’t like, in order to get votes for their side. That the people might like the next government less is never, of course, discussed…
“With slogans like “Labour is so 2005″ and “It’s not cool to vote Labour”, the spin doctors of the blogs are trying very hard to make it fashionable not to vote for Labour, or indeed the Greens or New Zealand First.
However, of the main people in the People Power and Don’t Vote Labour organisations, we know absolutely nothing.
