Voting options?

[avgas]

The biggest problem with politicians is that they just want to be loved. Most of them are nice enough folks who have sucked the right dicks to get on their respective party lists. Not exactly a process that encourages original thought and innovation.

To be honest NO hard work goes into actually becoming a politician.
It is just like Playcenter - where you walk around everyone in the back yard asking "do you like me or him".
A wise child remains undecided - because in reality you are not choosing you best friend, but the asshole you don't hate as badly as the other asshole.

Yeah, where the individual is respected over and above the mass.

While i agree with what else was said - your actually wrong with this point. It is actually the mass over the individual - there are alot of very stupid people in NZ.
I have one simple philosophy in life, you always have a choice.....you own personal choice......it defines who you are, and where your going.
You do not have to vote in NZ - so if you don't like the cadidates what option do you have?
Seems to think most NZer's have this bizzare assumption that "you must vote".
Its not like taking a shit - its not even important, you wont die if you dont vote........
If you dont vote - f all in NZ changes.......infact by note voting all your going to do is improve NZ as it means that you are saying to NZ
"I don't like you politicians, and i dont care for what you do.....wankers"

I see your point, but is it not a bit ostrich to refrain from voting?
I'd rather do what I'm doing currently - make as much people aware that there are better options - like Paul and/or Leighton. If we (non-arseholes) stand together. we can eventually those lazy thumbsucking taxraping ratfaces out of office and get the right ones in. I still think the Swiss system is best by far. Just look at their country and you'll understand - it works!

If the whole country stops voting apart from 3 people, and Labour gets 2 and Nat gets 1 votes, they will still stuff up the country because they have won the election. We have to do something to stop this monstrous cycle. We can find someone in NZ to vote for that will kick some , don't ya think?
