From the release:
Sir Roger Douglas MP has dramatically announced his departure from the ACT party, effective as of today. He states that he experienced an epiphany while being accosted by veteran protestor John Minto outside Parliament. Minto's characteristic brand of emotion-free logical analysis struck a chord with the architect of New Zealand's radical neo-liberal reforms.Further down:
"I just really started thinking," said Sir Roger "about how the multinational corporations control our lives and how capitalism is really just about keeping down the working class. All that bourgeoisie talk about incentives and prices is just rhetoric to help us funnel money to our rich cronies"Sources close to Douglas tell me that he is talking with Joel Cosgrove about acquiring a high ranking on the Worker's Party list, perhaps 4 or 5.
