Politicians urged to walk together

Getting the people on the hill in Wellington to work together for the good of the country could be regarded as mission impossible.

But not so for sock company Holeproof.

The company says it is doing something to bring together the disparate elements of left and right by producing a new sock range called The Right Sock.

The range has left and right socks, each manufactured to fit the particular contours of each foot.

Holeproof has sent each Member seated on the opposition benches two right socks. Those who occupy the Government benches have received two left socks.

The company’s suggestion: Members should swap one of their socks for one belonging to their political rival so each has a pair.

Holeproof general manager Greg Healey says the socks are a great idea for all people who have to think on their feet.

“What better way to bring together our political representatives for the good of the country? It may be the only way we can all move forward,” Mr Healey maintains.
