Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Paul Campbell,
Our local economy has be decimated by National, jobs removed and/or moved to Christchurch, no one wants to say anything because, well Christchurch
Well I can say something as I seem to be the whipping boy for this sort of thing.
So, when Christchurch is rebuilt and the population swollen by the imported workforce and the newly created underclass that lost their wealth to insurance fraud and property speculators, what is going to happen when the next one hits? -
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to izogi,
What I have more trouble with is the willing ignorance and acceptance of corruption
This…
I have noticed that since the weekend the Herald has been harpng on about what Labour did wrong and how it should fix it, who should resign and when. Gimmeee a fucking break, the fact of the matter is Labour, the Greens and Internet/Mana lost this election due to the disgusting use of propaganda. As I have pointed out before, public relations is just the current name for the dark art of propaganda. What the MSM should be looking at is, not only Nationals campaign but the several years of lies and manipulation that convinced the public that Labour and the Greens would have wrecked the economy, something that National is more then likely to do and has done, neither would the presence of Internet/Mana in Parliament mean the end of life as we know it. What they seem to be doing is continuing the propaganda for National.
We must be stupid if we allow them to, not only get away with this propaganda driven power grab but run the country into the ground.
We should be protesting, LOUDLY!!!! -

blatant vote manipulation.
Couldn't happen here of course, we have honesty and transparency and rank highly in international surveys on corruption.

Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
so why do that and then not vote?
Because the Foreshore and Seabed issue pales into insignificance under National?.

Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Steve Parks,
The absurdity of it is that the Greens are barely more left than Labour.
I would say they were to the right of Labour, in a traditional sense, because the power behind the Greens are the children of the comfortable middle classes that have the time to care about the subjective, whereas traditional Labour supporters are the struggling poor and the exploited workers. Its a Class thing.

Electorates where NZ First's vote went up:
So, had Winston managed a Labour / Green / NZ First coalition (playing MMP the way the right do) we could all be smiling now.

Most places in NZ have a Post Office or Police Station or Bank, whatever, fairly close by.
May have been true 20 years back but National fixed that for us.
