Why I won't be voting for the Green Party

[short-circuit]

...yes, and the party responsible for shutting down dissenting opinion for the whole of election year is...?

Dunno...who ever it is will be utilising the well financed and long established "left wing" media.

Cause we're all dumb enough to believe that Labour is even close to being a left wing party and National actually has a "dissenting opinion"

[scorpious]

good on them, most of those things need to be banned!!!

I now understand your user name - it's between your brain and your gob right?

Is that all you've got?

I recognise those tactics - your lot are well known for them: When you've got no argument/policy, resort to personal insults.

(do it on the internet though so you get owned anonymously and it only hurts your feelings)

What? You're crying 'cos I couldn't be bothered to chase your moving goalposts? HTFU.

List MPs should be allocated proportionally on top of the electorate seats, giving more influence to members who actually have a direct mandate from their constituencies - dunno what that system's called, some wonk will no doubt inform us.

I am beginning to think that all list MP's MUST be standing for an electorate to be on "the list" of their party. The lunatic fringe (green...) do not represent an electorate but wish to represent an uninformed few who wish to enact punishment on the nation through increased regulations, fewer individual rights and exhorbitant taxation.

I see Obama was allowed to spend 9mil on one add, cant do that here.......

I like it when the words "9 mill" and "politician" come together.

Notice the emotive language, that along with insults and scare tactics are what you rely on when you're too afraid to actually promote your policies cause they are just so damned unpalatable: Asset stripping, voucher systems in schools, privatisation, slashing of health and social services, dismantling acc and kiwisaver etc etc

You didn't quite get the phraseology right either though so I'll do it for you: It's the "lunatic left"

Oh and you're welcome to deregulation, individual rights, and a $45 dollar a week tax cut:

Fuck off back to the jungle in your loincloth and don't come back when you need a hospital bed, don't send your children to a university, don't complain when another hairy Neanderthal steals your motorbike and enjoy building your own road to ride it on.

As for "exorbitant taxation" have a wee look at Scandanavian countries where their "uninformed many" are apparently quite comfortable with contributing to the future of both themselves and their society:

They must all be fucked in the head looney lefties nations doing it for no reason eh?

Keep your head in the sand boys, or up your arse....what are you going to do in 20 years time when we run out of planet & there's 9 Billion of us...is the reason we're not thinking about the younger generations to come is that we plan to eat them ?
Youre (we) all just to fucking selfish & self centered. The reasons why the Greens are such a threat to you fellas is that you'd have to HTFU & face the reality that we may well be in the shit already & wether its a Green or what ever flag you wave youre just kidding yourself if you think that business as usual is going to save us.
Look at the mess the worlds in now....& we aint seen nothing yet.

Sorry to burst your armageddonist fantasy, but the world is neither in a mess or on the brink of collapse.

As you say... these people (or cave men) are mainly self centred with a healthy dollop of shortsighted and sprinkling ignorant. They are a waste of space - bigots with tunnel vision, but it's still satisfying exposing them as such.

So you are on one hand ridiculing his post for using "emotive language, that along with insults and scare tactics" and then spout the same crap back. Obviously you can't construct a sound argument of any sorts so you have to lower yourself to personal insults and outrageous comments that are way off the mark.

Then you go on to say a whole heap of other stuff that is just wrong. Dismantling of Kiwisaver?? No, well if they want more than one term in gvnt that is. Privatisation?? Same answer again. Voucher system in schools?? Just a way to decrease the number of bureaucrats that manage the schooling system and finally allow schools to be up front about the real cost of attending them. Slashing of health and social services?? Please provide a link to that item of policy.

I'm all for a debate using non offensive language, I may even be able to see your point and why you would vote Labour but you need to grow up first.

[MisterD]

slashing of health and social services,

As I pointed out to your fellow lefties that run The Stranded yesterday, there is a correlation between tax cuts and spending on public services however this government has proven conclusively that there is absolutely no correlation between spending on public services and the quality they provide.

Liarbour pulled further left by the watermelon is a recipe for economic disaster.

Honestly the "Green" party need to pull their socks up, ditch the commies and nanny staters and focus on the environment that way they should be part of every government as they are in Germany.
