How can a tiny South Island town frighten the wits out of the mighty National Party?
The good burghers of Hampden, north of Dunedin, south of Oamaru, have challenged someone from National, anyone from National, to a debate on asset sales. John Key hasn't the stomach for it, neither has the electorate's Nat MP Jacqui Dean, nor for that matter any brave National Party MP. They've all run for cover, fearing the persuasive power of the representatives of the wee seaside shire.
Talk about the mouse that roared! Talk about David and Goliath!
Run you Natty asset-sellers, run!
I do hope John Campbell takes this story up and waves it in front of the nation.
It's very funny and described in full here: (hat-tip Nick)
