[Vid goes here]

And the last vid related to the one in the post above, I skipped out the 2nd one as it doesn't really relate to NZ at all but if you want to see it I'm sure you know how to find it, anyways video time

So you would be left with the unemployed and the government. Good luck.

Possibly. Seeing as they are too busy working trying to fix the country rather than trying to vote for people they don't care about.
But no keep relying on your belief that everything that happens in NZ does so because the beehive ordered it.

I mean they are the government - everything must go through them. Right??

Out of interest if I gave you 3 colours, red, blue, green and told you that you had to pick one. But didn't tell you why or what it means - who would you pick?
(Hint this is like one of those pick a path books - I will tell you the page number when you tell me your choice......exciting isn't it)

I wouldn't say that is 100% true. When I watched the second vid the first thing that came to mind was certain politicians who forgot who paid them in the past or what shares they held in particular firms.
Also I always laugh at the Labour / UN connection.......its almost creepy now.

Got anything to even remotely back that up?

Sorry I wont pick a colour as I'm changing the system by doing nothing.

Finally someone who admits that their vote changes nothing.

Backing up possibilities?
No sorry I am not in politics.

Do you have something that states everyone who doesn't vote doesn't pay tax? Or care?
Cos man do I have a statistic for you.......

I am not asking you to change the system or even influence it........all I ask is that you pick a colour. Red, Blue or Green?
Or do you not like any of these colours? If so what are you going to do about it?

29 Miners die.

You repurchase previous government assets at 10 times value they were sold for and 100 times the value they are worth. But now the NZ people own the asset.

Anyone else want to try their luck? 51 possible governments left to go. Or if your really brave - actually vote and risk the real world.
