The ultra-left ideologues are falling thick and fast. This time one in New Zealand jumps ship, resigning from parliament. Sue Bradford, architect of the incredibly unpopular anti-smacking law (which made it illegal for parents to lightly smack their kids) and Marxist, is leaving. Good riddance.

The incredible thing is, unlike in USA where they ultra-leftists have been caught out in all sorts of nastiness, Bradford seems to be going in a fit of pique simply because she lost a leadership battle within the Green Party. Oh well, never mind, who cares, as long as she's gone.
