		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Ruffled conservative feathers when he asked anti-abortion group Right to Life to send him its rules, so he could see whether it actually has a mandate to comment on the issue of marriage equality.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So he asked a group who&#039;s position he personally opposed if they were even allowed to oppose him under their rules. And he lists this as an accomplishment.

Classy. 

Anyho, I remember Labour listing WFF as an achievement. I guess that mentality is where Charles gets it from.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ive lost count of the number of times over the years where Ive been interviewing and people have told me they are good at ruffling feathers.  Its a skill thats seriously under value by the market.  Feather rufflers should hold more senior leadership roles.

One day, we will all look back and think, you know what, Chuck Shovel was on to something.  That feather ruffling is some good shit right there.

Or maybe not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The wikipedia user &quot;Louisejgreaves&quot; also did large updates to Grant Robertson and Hekia Parata. The edits seem okay so I think they are just interested in expanding the articles (rather than being an activist)

I&#039;d also point out that the articles for Labour MPs tend to be a little better since the Labour party releases photos that wikipedia can use while the National party refuses to (although individual MPs are usually happy to when asked). One of my pet frustrations.]]></description>
