In memorium of Don Brash's departure, here's a reminder of what he stood for, from KeepLeft.
No, I won't be missing him at all.

I have an archive of (I think) all of their videos, stashed away for posterity (or at least until the next hard drive crash). Quite useful, in this case.

Don Brash's contribution to public discourses, was in my view, entirely negative. The National campaign during the 2005 election suggested that Brash was committed to a strategy of 'divide and rule' rather than promoting social cohesion.
However, I was sort of hoping that the Nationals might keep him on for the next election. He would have been a terrific electoral asset for Labour
