After John Key's Tranzrail shares debacle, you'd think he would learn.
Apparently not.
Holding shares in a uranium company isn't a good look. If Key were a private citizen most of us wouldn't give two hoots what shares he owned. But he's the leader of a country with a strong anti-nuclear policy.
One day we may grow up enough as a nation to have a sensible debate about the role of nuclear energy. But we're not there yet, because both parties have committed to our anti-nuclear policies (though with the Nats it's pretty obvious they consider it a millstone around their necks). And if there's one thing that will get you blackballed from just about every political party in this country (other than the ones you'd die before joining), it's talking nuclear.
So what the hell was Key doing owning shares in an outfit mining uranium? How could he could be so foolish?
