    Presumably that has been the basis of your correspondence to your local MP, Mr Key and his bunch of evil minions, and the basis of you organising the resistance in your area?

    No?

    Didnt think so.

    Motorcycling is such a small part of my life it barely rates a mention as to what's important for me in a government.

    Sure ACC has taken an extra $250 a year from me - but I can tell you now that's fuck all compared to what a bad government could take.

    .... back in green and feeling great ....

    Remember, no matter who you vote for, the government gets in.

    No actually, I'm not in favour of appeasement.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Couldnt have put it better myself.
    While bikes are important to me, my hoby, love my bikes....I like the idea that we can afford to educate and provide some basic healthcare to my kids, more so.

    Biker issues wont be in the mix for me, come election day.

    And you guys not voting - stop spouting off your opinions online ok, thanks!

    (Note - I didnt quite answer the 'who will you vote for?' bwahahaha)

    Don't vote. It only encourages them.

    No political party is going to suck up to motorcyclists. Why should they? There are few votes to be gained or real issues worth losing sleep about.

    And, in return, what are bikers going to do for a political party that pandered to them, other than whinge and moan.

    Bikers are incapable of supporting the political channels they currently have. BRONZ comes and goes like Jehovah's Witnesses on a Saturday. People get pissed off with it and set up an alternative that comes and goes like the Mormons on a Saturday. Democracy is a fickle thing that presumes people are capable of exercising free will and making reasoned choices.

    None of them are worth voting for, they're all the same. Do a protest vote...a big X through the whole voting paper.
