well i recently attended the labour party conference in wellington.

The youth in labour oppose the whole thing. and the MP's are in a similar state of mind

will be good to see the whole thing..

I also got a copy of the new law if anyone wants to have a look.. well not new law yet :/

I'm not usually one to get serious about voting, usually vote for National as thats the way the voting goes where I come from.

I think i'll go for labour this time, but all it would take to sway my vote to another party is one point that I happen to agree with.

I can't stand the Green Party or that Dick Head thats runs it. I'll vote for the party that has the harsest way for criminals and that isn't to scared to do something with pricks like this guy from Otara who shot the Bank and Pizza guy.

national

Postby Stupra » Sat May 25, 2002 7:34 pm

probably vote national becuse there more like us in a way, working class people with familys and stuff, thats what most nzers are like, work most of there life bring up family etc and they think a bit more realistic, i dont think helen clark has worked a day in her life the country is kinda dictated by a text book i think, the teachers and nurses are still underpaid and there striking still, our tax is higher yet more people are on the dole and theres 400+ benefits u can apply for now so thats where the tax is going u can earn more on the dole than working in some cases these days and the roads still suck and theres no airforce anymore and i havnt seen the money go anywhere useful so national has my vote,

iaverage tax rate harsher penaltys for crims etc, i reckon that we need better cops like have guns maybe and less tolerance for crims, theres not enough cops solving crimes and people get away with stuff to easily and the cops cant do shit so give them more power in other areas other than boyracers which is pointless anyway, hopefully improve the roads and driver training "speed kills campaign" is just a cover up to shut the public up and have them belive that speed is the real cause for the high road death toll but really the real story is theres no money to fix or upgrade the roads or teach people how 2 drive in this country and most cars on the road are complete shit boxes that are unsafe and dodgy as hell, less imigrants maybe, get skilled ones in that can speak english at least not 50,000 per year from aisa that are mostly useless that end up in auckland and just put more strain on the country and clog up our schools hospitals and roads, less pointless benefits for people they should make beneficarys work doing community service sometimes or something that way they would be contributing in some way at least, hopefully do something about the education system, people drop out of school very early and we have very high pregnancy rate in this country and people dont have very good english skills at all ive noticed lots of people are ignorant and rude especially drivers in auck most of them have no courtesy and hopefully fix the student loan thing aswell less interest, the people who study and get loans should be looked after more since there the ones contributing the most in this country and working hard not the people on the dole who get a state house and all sorts of benefits.

the greens are just a bunch or bush monkeys who want the country to be back in the stone age there anti technology anti cars etc, act is to small to make a difference some of there ideas are good but they wouldnt work for most people in nz.
its never possible to have everything go your way once your in power, resources and money are so tight and people get upset very easy in this country so its hard to make big changes without conflict or upsetting people, but hopefully things will get better in the future, our wage rate and our dollar is very low so those should be important things to focus on aswell so thats what i think about it all.

cheers

vote

Postby toylet gt » Sun May 26, 2002 4:12 pm

i would vote for the greens if i was old enough to (onlyn 16/17 in june) -i have never smoked dope ever in my life so dont think typical stoner voting for a party who wants to legalise dope it is only because they are the single party who opposed the totally unfair "down with boy racers bill"" .p.s could the person with a copy of the bill please send it to me e-mail cantyfanjp@hotmail.com.

I'm sure not in for a tax reduction. If they reduce taxes where is the money gonna come form to pay all the 'BILLS'.

Just a thought on ST185's comments

Increased Spending...

Postby ST185 » Fri May 31, 2002 11:34 pm

What would you do if you had more spare money....spend it !! the lost money from personal tax would be made up with the extra GST the govt would get from the spending.

Well I hope that the Greens don't get enough votes to form a coalition with Labour. Labour and that damn Helen Clark will manage to turn this country to crap but the Greens are even worse. If they were in power we would all be sitting round in flax skirts smoking pot. Also its important to note that they werent opposing the "Anti Boy Racer Bill" but the idea of giving police more power.

Maybe im a cynic, but I dont know if I'll vote at all this year...
I dont think theres a single political party that I can support.. Labour have $&#$% us over as far as im concerned (im a military buff; look at our Airforce) but I didnt like National much either...

I voted Alliance last election and look where that got us.

Anyway - Blah. I might just do a random stab thing :)

BTW Agree with Ben - Stupra, learn to use Fullstops and Capital Letters and it will make your messages so much easier to read! (Id suffocate if i tried to read your message out loud lol)
