Fucken Greenies

[Headbanger]

Holy shit batman, talk about jumping to unfounded conclusions. I mean, do any of you guys know this fella? No no, don't let me stop you, let's have a good old lynching.

Count me in.

He looks like a smug fuckwit Aucklander.

[Pixie]

That's true. It'd be pretty crazy if it was "35 year old guy who has been on the unemployment benefit for 17 years is new Green Party MP"

Most of the "academics" in the Liarbour and Green parties fall into that classification,don't they?

I notice that someone has had to get a haircut and a real fucking job!

He sits on his butt doing nothing, not really that much of a career change now is it?

If he's an honest bloke with just a touch of idealism left in him then he'll be a better MP than any highly educate, albeit corrupt and power hungry, politician. So what if he's worked in a fish & chips shop. If the greens decide they'll have him, they'll have based that decision on something - and unless you vote green to begin with your opinion on the matter is irrelevant.



Well, not having an impact isn't always a bad thing. Or would you prefer another Dr. Smith?
Transport is valid area to focus upon in NZ, public transportation does leave a lot to be desired.

Isn't that at the end of the day what democracy is? By casting a vote you are casting your judgment upon those that you don't vote for.

Look at it another way. If Ronald there rocked up to your place of business with that CV, would you give him a job? I sure as hell wouldn't

Just that he can say he is "retired"...

On the taxpayers expense. Oh yay.

You got it all backwards. Your vote represents a vote of confidence in the candidate of your choosing. Confidence that the candidate will competently represent and further your personal areas of interest.
The vote does not signify a lack of confidence in all other candidates.

I haven't seen his CV. If he was the best man for the job in question I couldn't care less if he had a fetish for dressing up like Ronald McDonald or whatever other irrelevant factoids that could be uncovered.

Another example of knowing nothing about that which you flip off negative remarks at!

Maybe he's just smarter than the others. Get in, get out, continue getting half price air fares for the rest of your life Are there any other ongoing perks once you're out?

yup, you don't have to work in politics again!

[Pussy]

You buggers should get me in as a green MP.
The basis of my campaign is:
2,4,5-T will be re-introduced... in fact it will be compulsory!

You're welcome!

I generaly know at least something of the things that I flip off negative remarks about. Of course I am always willing to know more of the things that I flip off negative remarks about. Feel free to teach oh great and wise one.

Do you think National were voted in because of confidence in their candidates and their policies, or because people were sick of Labour ?

NZ generally votes Govt's out, not in.

[Skyryder]

Indeed - its better to have someone who has worked than a life long dole bludger.

However - Hes still not the kind of person you want in parliment - Seriousley - how the fuck is he going to have any reasonable impact - or even contribute to debate or policy? One of the areas he wants to focus on is transport - WTF?

Hopefully this is the kind of shit that will get the greens under the 5% mark!

O course Bill (not a good look) English and that lying cunt Key are prime examples MP repectibility. I don't know didluy squat about this guy and I do not have a lot of time for Green politics but if I remember much the same was said about Tanzos and he got more respect than Key ande Englishs together. Still it's bash a greenie week so if it rocks ya boat.
