McCarten picks English as Politician of the Year

Matt McCarten rates the leaders and deputies over 2006. Their scores in order:

Bill Engligh 9
Michael Cullen 9
Pita Sharples 8
Tariana Turia 7
John Key 6
Helen Clark 6
Jeanette Fitzsimons 6
Winston Peters 5
Jim Anderton 5
Peter Dunne 4
Rodney Hide 4
Russell Norman 3

And one quote I can’t resist copying:

“The real Foreign Minister is Clark. Peters’ job is to have tea with the Americans and Pacific Island despots.”
