The Bikers Political Party

[superman]

Heck the Greens got the anti-smacking law through amongst other non-"green" laws.

It should now be called the green/nanny party.

What I don't understand is that they are totally against nuclear power which outputs vapor yet coal electricity production that outputs large amounts of pollutants is an ok alternative.

Sure nuclear waste is a bit nasty... I don't understand why all the countries with nuclear power stations don't team up and every now and again send a rocket filled with the stuff blasting into space. We'd never come across it again and all would be well.

Reality check. If BRONZ were the only bikers rights organisation in the country and were to stand canditates in the next election, how many bikers do you reckon would vote for them?

Naff all mate.

Im constantly reminded of how little people think we at BRONZ do for them.... sadly.

Spending tonight reading 300+ pages of ACC policy regarding the MSL
Spent 30 odd hours last month dealing with WCC and the parking issue

And I still have to do my job, ride my bikes, look after domestics.... can anyone here clone me please?

I would gladly run for office if...IF... I thought there was any support for the efforts we make but as Hitcher says, single issue parties dont get much leverage.

There is a crap more potheads out there than Bikers to support the Legalise crew................. and they have never won a seat yet.

Could we?
We had more people at BIKEOI than the last election was won by but.... of all them of them maybe 10 would vote the same methinks

[lone_slayer]

youll have my vote but it does need to have a broader focus not just bikes

Remove GST on food (bloody good for votes)
Remove booze and smokes from supermarkets, dairys and petrol sations (only can buy from liquer (R18) stores easier to police) legalise weed sell in the same stores (we might as well gather tax on it and stop fighting it) (+ supermarkets will get booze stores next door but gets the stuff out of the kids faces etc) (and i dont smoke weed)
Driver/Rider Training as part of learners liscene
original ACC system or better
Cheese cutter etc
And try pick a few other hot options

...what about the poor little green mans planet that it might smack into in 200,000 years or so...we have to think ahead...they may not have heard of the anti smacking law, and we may be putting ourselves in the firing line of a good inter-galactic smacking...

Just for StoneY

Keep up the good work and I would vote for you ummm maybe.

I would vote for a biker party if I thought my vote would do some good, now is not the right time. If a biker was formed this year, my vote would not go to them. The reason for this is, my vote this year will be far better used for the party I beleive can deliver and cater for my wants and needs ........ A newly formed party of any discription would not be able to do this thus rendering my vote a waste.

but that would apply anytime so you are basically saying you wont vote for the biker party until they get into parliment?

thus rendering my vote a waste.

The only vote which is wasted is the one not cast.

Your vote would do good voting for one of the 2 main parties that will get into power no matter what?

What really are the differences between Labour and National these days? A couple of stupid little policies that don't really matter. If NZ would be in a vastly different situation if one or the other was in power fair enough, but those two are more voter crazy than sticking to the original types of policies that created them. The country won't be much better being with either, they both suck just as much as eachother.

Correct, I might as well form my own party....
lets see..'The I Chew Rubber Bands Party'...
I vote with head not my heart.

State the obvious.

Who said I vote for either of the two main parties?

well that would only leave the Greens, Maori or Act as the only parties that have enough general voter support. Act is questionable as to if it makes the threshold. Maori is only really the 'special' seats so that leaves Greens.

[Maha]

(Imperial March begins to play...)

Point is, there is no point...read stoney's post above and take it in..
He is right.

Can I aske a question?
Where is the funding coming from to make this happen?

I do not have divulge where my vote goes to anyone, what I can say is where my vote wont go.

You left out NZ First....
