The point David Farrar tries to make is that there is some similarity between Jim Anderton and Alamein Kopu. But there is no comparison. Anderton won an electorate seat. he competed for votes, and won more than United Future who are in government with National. Not much sign of National's talking point author, Kiwiblog, attacking United Future.
If National now want to reverse the last election result, then Prog Blog would be enthusiastic (ahem), but realistically the people voted and for the next three years we have their verdict. That verdict returned Anderton and therefore the Progressive Party to parliament.
The raving of the right against the verdict of the people is very strange when it is the same verdict that made National government.
What Kiwiblog is trying to do say the result of the last election is somehow invalidated by the result of the next election, which hasn't even been held. This is ridiculous.

What many on Kiwi Blog do not understand is that the opposition is a coalition, The Labour-Progressive Coaltion.
The current government is not a coalition government but a minority National Party government. Many have not understood that since 1999 we have had coalition governments being Labour- Aliiance then Labour-Progressive from 1992.
As a coaltion the parties can and do operate as a partnership being able to make independent contribution to any task or issue. Jim Anderon was elected in the same manner that John Key was elected, that is by the vote of the people to represent them, obviously this was valid and legal any view to deny this is a fallacy!
