Michael Laws Has Had an Election…

Oh, and National won. Thanks for playing.

Here’s a few tips, from the inexperienced youngster to a battle-hardened old git:

• Don’t try to call an election result based on poll results.
• Especially ones that are undergoing rapid change
• If you pre-write your column for delayed publication, please try and correct your factual errors before going to press.
• Never, ever, EVER write off Winston Peters
• If you imply that Labour are poisoning National in the next term in your headline, try and elaborate on how it’s the scum sucking socialists fault and not the last decade or so of baseless banking speculation, free market capitalism and greed that you fight so hard to defend.

And don’t remind me about Bob Jones’ column, I mean… ah I give up.
