National Deputy Leader Bill English:
"Look, the campaigns are the best bit of it, particularly when you win ... If you win. I mean winning is fantastic. There's nothing beats winning in politics ... Despite all our highly principled statements. Winning's fantastic. Have a small target ... Do what you need to do: win. Don't worry my man, stick with us."We all know politicians think this, supposedly there was an even more damaging one released before. The point is though, at a cocktail party people should be relaxed and talk frankly, not worried some pinhead going to record and blog about it the next day. Sadly, with Gawker-type sites relishing in this kind of dirt, those idealistic days are numbered.
PS- Don't talk about politics at cocktail parties. Shame on English.
