I wonder when the TPP will become so unpopular as to cause its negotiations to be abandoned. But I don't think that will happen, the parties involved have already sunk enough cost into it that they cannot leave.
- rodgerd 11y agoThe minister "negotiating" (and I use that word in the loosest possible sense) for New Zealand anounced publicly he is "too emotionally invested to walk away". Which makes him as an absolute cretin (or a mark, if you're a poker player). But it's hardly surprising because he's spent 30 years either in the civil service or as a professional politician trying to get something like this passed. So your latter point is absolutely true. Groser has an absolutely religious position on this topic. New Zealand as a country will sacrifice pretty much anything to appease his desire to have this "accomplishment" for a zealot.
