What's Wrong with Labour?
Dear Simon,
Your political correspondant claimed only mass marches make governments act on contentious issues, s/he should have said only Labour governments respond to this method. It was Labour who acted on Monopouri, on compulsory compulsory military training, on the STB, on French nuclear tests, on racist white South Africa.
National have not acted on the SIS marches, the bursary marches, the East Timor marches, or the overseas student cutback demonstrations. Perhaps s/he should think again before saying Labour and National are the same
