"Foreign Minister Winston Peters has delivered a speech in the Oxford Union Debate, arguing the courts undermine democracy."

Well of course he did. Can't wait to hear his speeches on why operational independence, freedom of the press, civil liberties, human rights, and free and fair elections undermine democracy too. Since they too interfere with the government's ability to dictate outcomes without checks and balances on their power.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters delivers speech in the Oxford Union Debate

His attendance at the debates follows those of ACT leader David Seymour and Labour MP Willie Jackson.

This is our Foreign Affairs Minister folks. A proud advocate of CCP-style dictatorship and doublethink. What an embarrassment.

I'm starting to wonder what kind of conpromat the white supremacists have got on him. Seriously. Winston has always been a loose canon, but up until a few years ago I could see a reasonably consistent set of political principles behind what he said and did. His recent Trumpian turn betrays most if not all of them.
