Two ironies

The Herald reports:

John Key says he was invited to the United States nuclear security summit in Washington because President Barack Obama recognised the importance of 's anti-nuclear position.

Irony No 1 is that after 25 years of the anti-nuclear keeping NZ on the outer in Washington, it is now being seen by the President as a positive.

Irony No 2 is that the beneficiary of Irony No 1 is not the party that introduced the law, but the party that has spent most of the last 25 years trying to work out ways to amend it.

Politics is full of ironies.
