    Same as Europe... but as bob said, given that policy is pretty much the same term in term out... WTF else are people going to vote for if not a winning smile or a business suit or some fancy credentials or the backing of the establishment and therefore kudos beyondo questiono. Be no point voting otherwise

    That's a little unfair, it should be when they submit the application form.

    I think career politicians should have to do six months in a private business every five years or so - if they end up on their second warning in that period for poor performance they can't re-enter the political world.
    I think every Kiwi should have to do 3 years in their own business before they get to vote.

    But I'm a cunt. Apparently.

    I cannot remember the stats but NZ is full of small businesses and a high percentage of start-up ones do not survive the first three years. I know a few people who got in and out of catering in that time frame.

    Yep, I think 60% of NZ business is SMEs, generating about 40% of gdp.

    Aye, it's a microcosm of a national economy, if you can't successfully manage it at that scale you have no business managing a country, either in administration or by voting to influence policy.

    True but when you outsource the means of wealth distribution and control completely it is the same as riding a motorcycle from the pillion seat - .....

    Maybe Housing NZ should look here for quick build and supply plans?

    NZ Politicians should look to the experts on how to provide fast build housing policies? https://mondoweiss.net/2019/02/minis...n-communities/ -

    The only valid means of wealth distribution is as it's always been: Earn it.

    The two exceptions being charity and theft.
