Waking Up to Reality

Poor Mike Hosking! By his own admission, he lives in a world of his own imaginings. And the issue that occupies those imaginings is, he says, by what margin will Labour lose the next election?

He seems to have passed beyond the world of fact and to be preoccupied with his own wish fulfilment. So badly does he want to see the demise of the Labour government that he can see it, he lives it, he can taste it!

We must worry about his mental stability and emotional equilibrium; how will he handle an election result that, if the polls are right about the doubts that the voters have about Christopher Luxon, will mean that Jacinda Ardern is returned to Premier House?

Waking up to reality can be a painful experience.
