The tribal hypocrisy goes on

 Hi All,

Last week I noted that the left like tribalism as much as the right , regardless of what a politician does even if they are counter to left wing ideology

As if to confirm this  the guardian , the UK's esteemed left centre liberal broadsheet  has produced commentary that praised the Prime Minister of New Zealand for delaying that country's elections as "magnanimous and conciliatory". Yet when there was talk of Trump suggesting this for America it was condemned as "what autocrats do".

So this hypocrisy has nothing to do with the Prime Minister of New Zealand belonging to a left wing Labour party and Trump being from a right wing party? It's also worth pointing out that the new Zealand government is a coalition and their Labour party is sharing power with a party called "New Zealand first" which is, erm, a populist nationalist party... aka brexit party ,Boris Johnson and Trump have previously been dismissed as " vulgar populists"   by the left ... but it's okay as NZ first are propping up a left wing government... 

actually I wonder what would happen if , in another reality the Brexit party was propping up a minority Labour government led by a black female feminist leader.... now would that not burst a few bubbles?

In any case elections were suspended in Wales Scotland and London this year.

Where is the guardian outrage in the SNP , Labour in Wales or Labour and mayor Khan  in London getting an extra year?
