Why Does Jordan Williams Even Bother – NZ First

New Zealand First says it’s a pity that out-of-touch First Past the Post [FPP] supporter Jordan Williams is too immature to have learnt from life.

Rt Hon Winston Peters says the advocacy of Williams and his ilk were behind the push for FPP at the last election and was one reason it was trounced by the MMP option.

“Being obsessed with Winston Peters does not help his logic which is clear from his latest foray into the press on the MMP review.

“He describes himself as ‘a constitutional lawyer’ which is a bit like the last claimant to the Tsarist throne. Nobody knew of her.

“Williams should cross back over his Jordan to the conveyancing arm of the law firm he works for and stick with things like Easements and Licences to Occupy.

“These areas will better occupy his limited skills,” says Mr Peters.
