Could KB members govern...

[mashman]

Whats the pay like...?

pies and tits

or

a $40 million make over for the house, a few million to upgrade your car fleet, another few million for a needless board, perhaps another super city, unlimited bribe offers, the potential to sell off your country's assets, make your mates rich,
fuck over your health system for the benefit of corporations, educate kids to a 3rd world level (just ignore the UN's reports, you won't be in power at that time), bail out finance companies, shaft people who don't have "disaster" insurance, look down your nose at any minority you like (they won't affect your vote), blame those who went before you for things you clearly can;t be arsed looking at, talk bollocks on national telly and radio on the odd occasion, retend you're doing it all for your country, visit Wellington once in a while, get a chunk of your mortgage paid for, have guaranteed pay rises, make up new words, wear a stupid grin on your face, pretend to want to catch up with Australia (by 2025, you'll be long gone ), create new taxes, generate new revenue streams without scaring off the rich people, and still manage to come out smelling like roses because you'll have noone to contest you because the people of your country have deluded themselves into believing that they couldn't do a better job themselves...

and in return you'd be required to keep the lights on, pretend that you want to make a difference and fuck around with legislation to make it look like you've been busy whilst being in govt...

Fuck it... I can do either according to my mum ...

I like roasted marshmallows

When I am Ruler, there shall be no personalised plates, and parents will have to choose their progeny's names from an officially approved list (just like in France and Denmark).

There shall be punitive fines for use of the word "ass" unless it is being used as a plain English descriptor for Equus asinus asinus. Possibly even a death penalty for repeat offenders. "Gotten" and "should of" usage will receive similar treatment.

There shall be a minimum standard set for whingers.

There shall be an annual public holiday in honour of the apostrophe.

And a myriad of other important laws.

I can hardly wait.

Ya know what'd be interesting?

If KBers wrote their ideal policy on a particular subject (Health, Education, Defense etc) and posted on here.

Would be interesting to see what KBers personal policies would be.

[Hitcher]

Defence: Compulsory military training for all citizens aged between 18 and 20. Double time for whingers and gimps.

Education: Nobody leaves school until they can spell, punctuate and successfully complete basic arithmetical exercises. Science curriculum would be compulsory. School leavers would have to be fluent in a language other than English.

Economy: Political and economic union with Australia. That way the whingers and gimps could go and live there.

Swoop for Defence

Would be interesting to see what KBers personal policies would be.

Since you asked...

As minister of defence I would require a budget of $750- per annum.
This would be used to employ a painting contractor to maintain a sign at cape Reinga stating "Private Property - No Trespassing".
There! Saved the country millions!... or... we could go with my "thermonuclear policy"... interestingly, this also matches my policy on cyclists' riding in groups of 2 or more...

I'd make a great enlightened dictator. I'd get things done because I'm not interested in worldly posessions or a lasting grip on power. To celebrate my inauguration, I'd hang 10.000 communists, global warming advocates and Maori Party officials from lamp posts all over Wellington. You get the idea...
In other words: The reasons I'd make a great ruler are the very same reasons most Kiwis probably would want me anywhere near power.

Spend a few months in local politics to see how democracy demands compromise & the wealth difference of the haves & have not's, polarises what is at the top & bottom of the agenda.

I have huge respect for most MP's regardless of media portrayal. They are mainly self made & have a long term commitment to trying to make a positive difference, as they see it, to this country & their electorate. The faces we pillory today have been working for years unseen before they climbed high enough in the ranks to warrant a journalists time.

I have no doubt in the ability of KB members to form policy & govern but do they have the stamina?

exactly talk is cheap.even a club committee would have most people tearing thier hair out after a year(or one meeting for some)

[ellipsis]

....committees are run by guns and tanks and fukn big ego's..and lots of innuendo...(yeah I've also heard its a Spanish suppository)...

[puddytat]

I'll take the portfolio of re nationalising state assets & putting our pension fund into our countries future....here.
Also I like the idea of being escorted by bikers in black leather boots....but they'll need to be on 1198's to go with the flash new cars on the way.

[scissorhands]

Half you lot will be busted for coke and bitches and the other half ..... quicker than you can say: no more Ministerial Ducatis.

Might get a few seats in the south

[mashman]

oo oo can I have Justice please .

I'll start by bringing back the death penalty.

Prison tents cities as in the udder thread.

Implementing a points system for arrests, convictions, non-convictions, court appearences to catch the early starters and those prone to being in trouble, also making sentencing simpler. (also linked to the death penalty if you rack up enough points, you're outta there)

Financial Crime will be dealt with MUCH more seriously.

>>Could KB members govern...<<

That is the single funniest thing I have read all week.

Even skidmark would do a better job than that walking pile of effluent, Parakura Horormeh.
Lazy cunt has only got off his arse to get a feed, or to fart it out.
Still waiting to see him honour his statement in his maiden speach.
Lying, slimy prick.
