How the fuck is this legal??
You're viewing a single thread.
Fucking scum. When do we oust these locusts. They provide nothing but take everything.
Now is the time to vote!
For who ? Labour that refused to bring in land reform or national who wish to have the highest house prices in the world oced ?
I wonder which one I should bite for ?
Politicians are corrupt civil servants. Remove them and get in people who actually want to improve the average kiwis life.
The Greens, who have a comprehensive tax policy with relief targeted at the lower end and rebalancing the tax take to come from capital gains and wealth instead of being heavily weighted to taxing work and consumption.
If only
Well hey, if it's consistent with your values and what you want out of a political party why not? The beauty of our electoral system is you don't have to just vote for Labour or national. Yes one of them will be in govt but the more votes the minors get the more they can push for things
Up until a point. Still can't have national in
Agree, I was talking generally there but my overall point was - it sounds like the kinds of things you're after are Greens policy, so you should vote for the Greens :)
Unfortunately greens burned their bridges with that incident regarding
Can't vote for a party that seems that acceptable. I'm sure a lot of others were put off by that too.
People make mistakes. Don't burn down a whole party because of one mistake of one member.
Oh you're one of those guys. Well vote for Labour then, the policies have a chance to influence while not providing your direct support
Say what you mean. Spit it out. One of what ?
Greens for free dental. And all that 'improve the lower classes wellbeing' stuff.
I'm sure there's a good joke to be made about voting for Greens for dental and coming back to bite you because you have teeth when you're 80 or something.
What are greens offering? Dental for over 60s ? Under 10s. Greens are a good shout but prefer unfortunately to vote labour just so I don't get national
Voting greens if is effectively still a vote for labour, as theyre unlikely to get 60 seats on their own. Its just a vote that lets them pput more pressure on labour when forming a coalition.
Some would argue that voting Green is better than voting Labour as it forces Labour / gives Labour cover to do left-wing things while campaigning as centre-right.
There are more than two parties in New Zealand. And Politicians are not civil servants; at least not in the way that term is traditionally used.
Obviously but that doesn't mean it's a two party fight. More than two parties in most countries. And funnily Enough it's usually one of three.
Any other useful advice or ?
Don't forget to heckle them and send some hate mail to your local council. I'm doing my part, I hope you're doing yours ;-)
Enlighten me. I may be convinced.
You may as well write to ministers and officials, and tell them how poorly they perform, and that their actions have corrupted the country and ruined the lives of countless people.
Suppose. I'm sure I'm on a list anyway
