Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un walk into a bar.

"Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America."

Paranoid, much. But guess who else attended? Both John Key and Helen Clark. Anne-Marie Brady is being understated when she says our former leaders are sending entirely the wrong message.

#GuyonEspiner: "You'd hoped for a majority in 2002. The polls said it was possible."

#HelenClark: "I think with MMP it was probably never realistic. Whatever the polls said... kiwis in the end quite like the government not having it all it's own way, having to talk with others..."

The #podcast with #HelenClark #RestIsPolitics was incredibly insightful. I almost forgot how wonderful a human she was. More female politicians on the podcast please

Particularly interesting were the sections on transition to proportional representation (painful but worth it) and the value of funding arts, culture and heritage
