John clearly stated in the leaders debate he wasnt into god, so i doubt he would agree with tamikiville. Gutted they got in, but man u over exaggerating. "could bloody well happen". Where in john keys policies did he say he was gunna exterminate a race.... hes keen to work with the maori party.

 

I myself am a greens voter, but god i dnt think the next four years is that bleak.

werds..... I didnt actually say he was gonna exterminate a race.. However depending on his conservatism his national hordes are a little closer to that shit than say che guvara

 

national have a loooooooonnng history of fucking shit up...

I have seen what they can do and have done a few times and you know what they say leopards and their spots... well....

 

Im a anarcho socialist and have a major distrust of the right its ingrained in my ideology.

 

maybe do some research on jenny shipleys national government ,its a recent example of what they have done. and john key, all though he is all smiles and fluffies at the moment is still a rabib pig in a fluffy kittens outfit spawned from the same mold as shipley ,bolger,muldoon just wait for the razor gangs lead by douglas (that traitor) to come out slashing...

 

any way thats enough from me.... have films to make and shit to do

 

BUT!!!!!! before i go..... heres a post my freind did .. it somes up the issue for me and for many other non apathetic peo[ple who understand the possibilities of a national led government and under stand the historical context

 

"I am a cog in a very large wheel"

- John Key admitting his puppet status during his disgusting and phallic acceptance spiel (in which he ripped off Obama's amazing victory speech of last week - the total opposite in intent and effect).

 

A friend of mine said, "We need to be optimists, yo. We're in this position for a few years, we need to make the most out of what we have".

 

It's going to be hard to make the most out of the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer and the country becoming pro-white, nuclear-loving, conservative, bible-bashing and homophobic. We came so far under Labour...... People are saying that a National Government was inevitable because aside from no New Zealand government ever making it to a fourth term, the desire for change is basic human nature. It's instinctual to want to change a corrupt or dysfunctional government, but this doesn't apply to our political system of the past nine years.

People have already forgotten - in fact, I think they forgot years ago - that half the jobs available (and the ones being lost because of short term, irreversible factors on a world-scale) were built from the ground up by Labour just short of a decade ago, and that the national debt was closer to 20 billion at the close of the last right-wing government that we had...

 

I simply can't ‘make the most of’ increasing the poverty gap and having a PM who has no moral fibre or backbone.

 

The contrasts between the Labour and National camps on election night were vast. Helen's crowd was varied as it always is - old, young, male, female, heterosexual, homosexual, somewhere-in-the-the-spectrum-sexual, multiracial, wealthy, struggling, Catholic, Muslim, Agnostic. Everyday people brought together as the result of years of Labour's hard work and the desire to keep a good thing going. She was defiant and gracious and honest to the end, true to form.

 

...Compare this to John Key rolling up in his excessively expensive car, oozing self-importance and materialistic pride. It was suits and tuxedos, age spots, trophy wives, glistening bald heads and indulgent in-joke grins. It was a male-dominated, 99% white Audience for the Big Show. And I didn't think anything he said was genuine aside from the opening line of this emotive and negative rant.

 

It's so bizarre...America becomes cool and we become America, all in one week.

 

Key is the New Zealand equivalent of Bush. We've elected a millionaire businessman from Parnell who already has a dodgy history with finance... He knows nothing about the New Zealand as a people, as a whole . He has no understanding of lower-income family life or the working class majority. There is so much wrong with the tax cut promise...not only is it the worst time to be borrowing money from overseas to

'stimulate' our economy but this will only benefit the rich...the wealthy exec who complains about his several hundred dollars of weekly tax probably earns over $1000 a day. How is it so hard to be satisfied with what you already have at that level of success?

 

Money is meaningless in comparison to the value of human life; however Key is a banker so all he really knows is the value of a dollar.

 

National prizes the employer far higher than the employee - they have plans to 'rethink' workers' rights, abolish minimum wage and limit leave as well as access to unions. National also wants to privatize ACC so if you're going to break a leg or two and be unable to work without losing your mortgage you might want to do it soon...

How the New Zealand public can condone selling off key assets that the Labour government has spent the last three terms building up is beyond me. The first rule of Kiwibank is you don't sell Kiwibank.

 

Our shiny new right-wing government is going to have a rampant affair with the whitewashed media. Their marital bed is going to reek of money-grubbing buggery (in a metaphorical sense of course: the rigidly conservative and family values-conscious don't believe in that sort of behaviour).

In the words of Chris Trotter (one of the least pretentious political writers in NZ), "You can read it on the pages of the right-wing media: the smug certainties of our genteel suburban fascisti - regurgitated to order by publications long-used to dripping the oleaginous phraseology of "responsible journalism" all over the jagged edges of their readers' class-advantage.

 

...And it's been there for all of us to absorb in the polls - though many of us simply refused to believe our fellow citizens could be so dumb - or so mean.

 

But, we were wrong. They were."

 

We've been fucked over. The stupid and greedy have had their way. Us intelligent and compassionate ones ended up proving our minority status. Let's wait for Labour and Greens to form the Underdog Alliance of the People and for those upper-middle class post-middle aged whiteys to realise the error of their ways. When it's too late for false, glossed-over excuses and we rise up in protest at the society National attempts to create, they'll be anticipating the echoing "I told you so", sitting nervously in their BMWs, getting all hot under their blue collars as they listen to talkback on the AM radio.
