I don't think a great deal of politicians but Claire Curran has just won my vote. Well, she would have if I lived within her electorate.
Curran, the Labour MP for Dunedin South, got booted from Parliament today for committing the shocking crime of wearing a Highlanders jersey.
No, not the snot-green abomination; the traditional blue-gold-maroon top.
Nice work, Claire. Not only for showing your support for the Highlanders fans who want the new jersey burned at the stake, but for revealing again that Parliament is a joke: you can act like a 5-year-old and call other people names, but you can't wear a rugby jersey.
