Parliament is sitting for the last time this year today. The general debate has been cancelled, and permission granted for the House to sit beyond 18:00 (meaning into the normal dinner break) to let them get through the electoral and MMP referendum bills and a motion setting a sitting program for the year. And after that, they all go home, and the holiday "silly season" (in which there is no real news) begins.
Unlike MPs, I won't be taking a holiday. At the same time, the fact that our political structure is off enjoying the sun means I won't have as much to blog about. So, things will get a bit quieter around here for a while. I'll keep trying to make my five post a day quota, but if there's less than that happening, I won't be resorting to cat-blogging just to fill the space.
