WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH NEW ZEALANDERS??? YOU DESPERATELY WANT A GOVERNMENT THAT HATES DEMOCRACY? ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING INSANE??????????

i am so confused right now. by the end of the year it is likely that new zealand will be some kind of hell dimension. i've been thinking about moving to australia but kevin rudd's government is nothing short of a spineless disappointment (refer NO CIVIL UNIONS). i guess my only option is to meet someone swedish and have a sham marriage with them. anyone know any single swedes?

it makes sense!

that's awful that the MMP system could get replaced, though it doesn't sound like the NZ voters are likely to overturn it if the left parties get out the word about its likely consequences.

even though the national party are keeping very tight-lipped about their policies (except for repeating "tax cuts!" like a mantra).

which is very much, oddly enough, the same platform george w. bush ran on in 2000. (that and promising a "modest foreign policy").

here in america we of course use the FPP system, though it rarely gets singled out as undemocratic because the two-party establishment is so deeply entrenched that few can imagine a third party making much headway anyway.
