    Referendum on Asset Sales

    Got a Referendum voting paper today.
    Asking if I wanted the Government to sell 49% of something I already own back to myself or to others without seeing my share of the money.

    Thank you very much for your kind donation.

    You don't own it, or a even a share of it.
    You probably never did.

    The Govt. owes NZ$60B.

    If you don't vote at all on the referendum then Wankey will say that you are happy for it to go ahead so didn't bother to vote. If it fucks you off then you should at least vote one way or the other, so then it will be more credible & less likely spun by the polliwallies because imbeciles don't get their shit together.

    If the next government weren't talking about putting the country further in debt to buy it all back, I'd be all for asset sales.

    That's a fair comment - any gains short term by selling with the Nats will only be overridden when the inevitable happens and the voting public tire of them. Such is the life cycle of politics in NZ - Nat/Labour it will happen.

    we're getting close to <50% voter turnout.

    Representative governance? I think not.

    Yep, and that's why the two envelopes that arrived at my place are already in the recycling bin. Seems the only logical action considering that my problem with the policy, is that we should sell 100%.

    You should vote, at least that way to get to vote for the lesser evil.

    Except it's not really anything close to right wing. It's run by a jew, and the crime rate is out of control with nothing done about it. That screams left wing to me.

    That's irrelevant if the courts are reluctant to send criminals to jail in the first place, and powerless to keep them imprisoned for any significant length of time except for the worst offenders. How many times have you read of career criminals ruining the lives of innocent people, just to be given a pathetically weak sentence so they can do it all over again? If JK and his party were anything other than a bunch of lefties, they would at least take this problem seriously rather than sweep it under the carpet and pretend it doesn't really matter. The fact that they're taking the whole "4kmh over the speed limit" thing so seriously should make it obvious where their priorities lie. It's obvious revenue gathering.
