Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

JP, is a former New Zealand politician. He was elected to Parliament for
the seat of Roskill in the 1990 elections as part of the New Zealand
National Party, a previously safe-seat of the previously ruling Labour
Party, largely on a platform of opposition to the of the "Rogernomics"
economic reforms that had occurred during the 1980s in New Zealand. He
openly identified with the pro-interventionist 'Muldoonist' faction of
the National Party, once saying "I joined the National Party because of
Sir Robert Muldoon". His campaign slogan was "Let's rescue Roskill".
Myles, however, quickly fell out with the leadership of the National
Party (that had simultaneously become the Government) due to the party's
own swing toward privatisation and the slashing of the Government's
expenditure on social policy enthusiastically implemented by Finance
Minister Ruth Richardson (see Ruthanasia).
