The 2017 Election Thread

[Woodman]

Dude, Winnie and Lab are the only ones that have publicly said things need to change around the current neo liberal system. Please pay attention.

We will see what the market says........

Should we start a "broken promises" list?

We already have:
1: Tax on water = broken.

It's the left's specialty, they've got fuck all else to offer.

For my part I'll be quietly making sure that none of the extra money they'll be spending is mine.

Fucks sake, you moan if a tax is being introduced and then you moan if it isn't introduced.

Get a fucking grip.

Fuckwit.

You can't have your cake AND eat it!

NZ = small right wing capitalist economy. It's not wealthy enough to be anything else, unless it drops the green thing and starts mining/quarrying/drilling its vast wealth in natural resources (Aussie style). Jacinda wants to reinvent the wheel, because she thinks, whilst her style of policies has failed everywhere else in the world, for similar sized economies, she'll make them work.

When a small capitalist country, like NZ, starts spending money on social projects that the country can't afford, the markets will descend into free-fall, to find a level appropriate to the new economic model. We'll see what that is, once the spending starts. No point saying "I told you so", as it is Economics 101. This adjustment is well overdue.

The people of New Zealand (some of them) have made the decision that, social neglect has reached the point where attention to it is far more important than international standing, foreign investment, and not borrowing vast amounts of money the country can't afford to pay back. Let's all respect that decision and at least give them a chance.

There's not a lot of cash in NZ, so policies that discourage foreign investment, will be a serious mistake. Interest rates, taxation, and blatant racism, need to be considered seriously, prior to implementation. Hiring Bill English, as a finance consultant, might be a good idea. He's been pretty good on that front.

This won't be a bad thing for all, so let's just see where it goes. A nice bit of resulting hyper-inflation will give many of us relatively free houses. Not the no-hopers though, they'll still be sucking off the economy, but that goes with the territory and they will have even less motivation to get off their arses.

ANOTHER PLUS - NZ will be far more attractive place to do business with, with the currency being 5% - 10% cheaper (which is a good thing). AND as a strong exporter, with free trade agreements around the world, you never know, it might just work!

No idea as to how it will actually all play out, but it will certainly be fun to watch. I can't wait to see WP/GREENS fighting the socialist stuff out.

There's no such thing as bad news, if you have the right attitude

Guess it's better than not mentioning any GST increase in the run up to the election, then raising the GST rate right after it eh? Maybe you prefered that? Being arse raped right off the bat??

You do realise that pensions are indexed to wages?

Not that it matters much if the tooth fairy income/asset tests for eligibility...

You're right, when they found labour had left the cupboards bare in the face of the global recession I'd have rather they just stopped paying dole bludgers altogether instead.

And if you think that was an arse raping you're going to just hate what comes next.

Sadly you disrespect my right to represent the "leftist/labour/democrat" way of doing buisness. Protesting, moaning rioting in the streets when you don't get your way is the accepted practice, don't cha know!

You, being a professional moaning wanker, should know this already.

This is for Crasher, to show there's no hard feelings:

Actually , I had forgotten that , not that it helped the germans much and yes if the tooth fairy continues to be involved things just get worse

Not likely to happen Gay-boy.
You'd probably want to put your cock in, like with your normal red-rep requests for faggotry action.
