The official Clark Brash Drinking Game

Tonight we have the first ever debate between the two contenders for Prime Minister – Helen Clark and Don Brash – on National Radio from 7 pm to 8 pm. We also have the party opening addresses on Tv One at 7.30 p.m.

To allow for more pleasurable viewing and listening, my flatmate and I present the official drinking game rules for the debate and/or the opening addresses.
