So that's why she did it.

Here is one of the better quotes from Winston, and this one just happens to relate to his new 'ally' - Mrs Clark:

"The only politician in the Western world who can talk on foreign affairs with both feet in her mouth ... thanks to her brilliant performance, New Zealand is now a staunch ally of possibly France."

So, it appears that Helen listened to this constructive criticism and decided to let Winnie have a go himself. Makes perfect sense really, doesn't it!?!?

And I think that it may have been unfair to imply that Winston doesn't like Asian's - it just that in Asia, according to Winnie:

"Atrocities are carried out on the dogs by these sadists in order to release more adrenaline in the dogs' bodies, thereby creating a more potent and flavoured meat. This abused flesh is highly valued as an aphrodisiac by these ghouls."

So, to summarise, New Zealand now has a xenophobic bigot that lives in a world of asinine generalisations as its Foreign Minister.

I give it 6 months.
