Sorry, L.E.--Gant, about the misspelling. I pride myself in not doing such
things, but, alas... I apologize.  About your conclusion that all political parties are roughly the same, just different facades:  you're probably right.  Unfortunately for all of us.

Oh. and it's GANT, not grant!

Saul: In NZ we have some six political parties (plus a few others that have not enough following to rate). I know (and have talked to, at length) people in all of them. I've dealt with the Canadian political system and the British one. My main conclusion: they're ALL the same, just different personailities and surface words used. That's why I classmyself as an anarchist - totally against ALL political parties.

Basicly, L.E.Grant, which is why this country needs a multiparty system or
one of those two parties to stand up for something that this country actually is interested in -- such as immigration and border controls.

That's because the two parties are really the same, once the rhetoric is gone!
