What policy would DEFINITELY get your vote?

If a political party could think up a new policy for law . Anything at all
What policy would get your vote 100%

For me it would be the politico who had the balls to stand up and say.
As at this moment
EVERY New Zealander is EQUAL under law. EVERY law

Population control.....

Awarding me 5 million dollars would secure my vote.

Actually, $5 and a fishburger would probably do it.

Unfortunately for you, Don Brash has given up the politics...

For me, 30% flat tax rate.

New Zealand immediately resigns and if neccessary, refutes, all binds with the United Nations organisations and resumes being a sovereign nation.

Three strikes and you're out

Make crimes against animals and white collar crime as equally and severly punished as the others.

**Dave Lobster** · 25th May 2009, 20:33

Stop paying lazy people to not work. And stop importing them.

Every support agency mandate itself to put itself out of business inside ten years. Think about it.

The definitely-no-fucking-walking-across-bridges-cause-you-think-protests-and-holding-people-up-over-a-cycle-lane-is-ok policy would get my vote.

Also making tear gas a common occurance on the fight towards crime.

That's quite a loaded question that I find requires many answers, at a whole load of levels.

"They" already got my vote ...at this point the way things look - I'm fairly confident, it was a vote well placed....

Working for the Dole, nice one MDU!!!!

What B.A.D.D and Crossroads specifically lobbies for, is....

Permanent removal (or as Bert said - crushem!) of recidivist drink drivers cars (3+ convictions), banning of licenses until there is proof and ability shown that there is a commitment (Mandatory longterm alcohol treatment, monitoring along with Interlocking devices) to license ownership.

Otherwise, permanent removal of recidivists from our roads. Jail time.

Disabling of the ability to purchase and/or borrow cars.

Micheal Laws put it plainly when referring to Rachael Brown (Drunk at court - 8x recidivist drink driver from Rotovegas) What more does cyfs need to step in than front page headlines?

Millions of dollars per year of drink drive TV advertising that nobody notices -spent in better educational areas.
Alcohol related education actually reaching out to the public.
Subsidised Public Transport!

Since I started campaigning the cost of alcohol related smashes was $750 million, it is now at $1 billion per year - cost to taxpayers.
Time to change the way we do things, and before more ambulances hurtle down the cliff - nose first.

I'm done

As you were.....

I'm with the Guzzi widow on this one.

But, I'd like to see -
- Zero alcohol levels for under 25's
- 1st offence, 3 months jail time
- 2nd offence, car crushed, 1 year jail time
- 3rd offence - Serious jail time

Killing someone while driving drunk - same charge as murder. Since it is the same thing.

I'd also vote for someone who ignores the PC bullshit, and tells the dole bludgers to get off their collective lazy asses and work.

Finally, I'd also vote for someone who changes the law around hitting pedestrians and cyclists - if you hit someone, regardless if they dropped out of the sky, then the driver is at fault - and they serve jail time. It would save lives and create an attitude shift. It works in Holland, Sweden, Switzerland... Oh, the difference is they are civilised...
