Well, the election is done, and the result sucks, but now we're into the interregnum. The outgoing government is in caretaker mode. While there are negotiations to form a new one, nothing is likely to happen until after the specials are counted and the results formalised in early November. So there's no policy, and nothing really but feverish speculation about what Winston will demand. In other words, three weeks' holiday.
I think I might as well make the most of it, because once Parliament sits we'll be straight into the pre-xmas rush of urgent repeals and all-stages bullshit that National traditionally starts government with.
