What policy would DEFINITELY get your vote?

[Molly]

For me it would be the politico who had the balls to stand up and say.
As at this moment
EVERY New Zealander is EQUAL under law. EVERY law

That and the cancellation of all sickness benefits and dole handouts (or at least make it repayable and only available for a limited time).

[Skyryder]

Any party that has the balls to get rid of the Treaty. It is without doubt the most destructive law in NZ.

Must spread, etc etc.

[riffer]

Strictly speaking it's not a law.

Plenty of laws that refer to it of course.

Me - I'd like them to bring in vehicular homicide.

With two levels:

Vehicular manslaughter in cases where undue care and attention causes death.

Vehicular murder in cases where negligence or dangerous driving causes death.

[SMOKEU]

Decriminalize possession of pot. And to stop paying sluts to breed and leech money off the government.

[Big Dave]

Spaaaaaaartaaaaaaa!

[jaymzw]

Hmm a hard one really...

Anyone who can get rid of this P.C bullshit gets my vote,
Making NZ a republic would be nice
Giving police guns
I could go on and on


Oh wait no-one gets my vote im not old enough

[Trudes]

Finally, I'd also vote for someone who changes the law around hitting pedestrians and cyclists - if you hit someone, regardless if they dropped out of the sky, then the driver is at fault - and they serve jail time. It would save lives and create an attitude shift. It works in Holland, Sweden, Switzerland... Oh, the difference is they are civilised...

You've obviously not driven down Lambton Quay here in Wellington lately. People are thick here I think and just wander out, in fact they even look directly at you and still walk out in front of you. I'm sorry, but unless you are old, a child, disabled or on a pedestrian crossing I will not stop for fuckwits who think they are impervious to being hit by a vehicle!

We agree on this topic, good Sir!!

Yep. Start fresh with a constitution/bill of rights. And a plain English motto...
"If you want it, earn it".

[FROSTY:Me]

skyrider--Yep but if all NZers are equal that wipes the treaty stuff out.

I don't agree with much the yanks do but vehicular manslaughter is definitely one crime Id like to see introduced.

Flat tax rate. Failing that, a tax rate that slides the opposite to the one we have (i.e. the more you earn, the less (as a percentage) of your income you pay.)

Time limit on welfare. Mandatory birth control for career welfare recipients (or maximum payment, regardless of the number of kids)

Agree on scrapping the Treaty, and the rest of the PC bollocks.

Islam law (chop off the hand) for thieves

Mandatory death sentence for people stealing bikes. (and silly cows in Nissans)

Life means life. No ifs, buts or maybes.

Return of hard manual labour for crims. Removal of kid gloves.

No parole until you have actually achieved sometime (job training, etc). No just doing your time and going back out to start again

Better driver training

Despot-for-Life Mully

[gatch]

Much harder sentencing for serious crime and severe reduction in quality of living for medium-maximum security prisons. Make it a punishment "no no mister I don't want to go back there"..

Cops being armed at all times.

Stop importing useless cunts with no skills/serious medical issues to further drain our welfare system. The ones that do get in should have a minimum english standard and be prepared to adapt to nz's way of life rather than vice versa.

Make driver licensing a privilege rather than an exercise in "pay the fees and tick the box".

Any politician that stood up and said soft cock on national tv would also get my vote (and not in a viagra endorsement kind of context either).

[Lias]

That and the cancellation of all sickness benefits and dole handouts (or at least make it repayable and only available for a limited time).

I disagree with the first part. What need to be done is make sure that those on sickness/invalids benefits are seriously ill and genuinely unable to work, and not just lazy / depressed / whatever.
