Foreign Politics at Home
So here’s an oddity – the Liberal Party’s homepage includes links to the New Zealand National party and John McCain websites. Now, I don’t really check party websites that often – but this is a little unusual, yes? I mean, sure, it’s not like it’s a big secret who the Liberals would prefer to see win the upcoming elections - but this sort of blatant endorsement of candidates in foreign elections strikes me as rather odd, and not exactly a good idea, especially in the case of the McCain campaign, who currently looks set for an overwhelming defeat… It’s more probable than not that the Coalition will win an election here while Obama’s still in office in the US, and an endorsement of his opponent is unlikely to do much to strengthen US-Australian relations…
