Yeah. This is the sticking point, the point where I am still undecided... it's obviously not right, in the general run of things, to out a closeted gay MP. But if that closeted gay MP is actively campaigning against, say, the CUB, or is just voting against it... is it then right to out them? I'm not sure and this is really the same thing, so.
and the woman's a member of the Round Table.
Actually, I heard that it's the woman who dictated that National's financial support from the Business Roundtable would depend on who was leading the party - that is, "no Brash, no cash" as Russel Brown said. So, just a TAD dodgy, huh?
I don't remember that. Izzat Key, maybe? I'm still hoping for dear old Bill... :P
