Since the anti-vax plague camp was set up on Parliament's lawn last week, complete with nooses and death threats, I've been wondering how long it would take for the right to start cuddling up to it. And today, predictably, ACT's David Seymour did:
ACT leader David Seymour has met with a Parliament protest "intermediary" to deliver conditions to be met for dialogue with lawmakers.In case anyone has forgotten, this protest has included assaults on local residents, multiple threats to lynch MPs, a convicted white supremacist threatening to execute politicians, and calls for the military to stage a coup to overthrow the elected government. But clearly, Seymour doesn't have a problem with any of that (neither, sadly, do "Wellington business leaders"). And we should judge him and his party for that at the next election.Seymour said on Wednesday he had met with the unnamed intermediary out the back of the Backbencher, a pub across the road from Parliament forced to close due to the week-long protest which has blocked traffic in the surrounding area of central Wellington.
