Neither Principled, Nor Pragmatic. What’s Eating The Greens?
In light of the Greens’ recent ideological contortions on the subject of immigration, it is possible to interpret Metiria’s attack on NZ First as being driven by internal – not external – considerations.

If so, then NZ First has been made the whipping-boy for offences much closer to home.
