New Zealand Political Blogs
I have spent a small amount of time trying to track down New Zealand political blogs to help keep abreast of things. It's a little one sided perhaps as I don't have a huge amount of leftist blogs and I have no idea where to find Asian, Indian, Maori, etc... blogs so if you can see any I have missed then please add them in the comments. I have also left out the political parties.
For simplicity's sake there is an OPML file here.
