So who the f**k am I supposed to vote for then?

[The Stranger:Me]

ACT.

You remove a persons responsibility they act irresponsibly.

Personal responsibility is in short supply, not only in parliament but in society, in part because of the example set by politicians (put there by us, again, we get what we deserve) but because successive governments have taken your responsibility away from you.
One of the principals of ACT is of self determination and personal responsibility.

I know this wont suit everyone, but I can think for myself, so I don't want herr klarke or key telling me what is best for me, I can handle that one on my own.

Word!
Preach it, Brother!
We have too many laws, rules and regulations, and too little personal responsibility and accountability.

Everything turned to custard when they put those child proof caps on medicines and cleaning products. Used to be the stupid children/people took said products and died. Not anymore, now they get to reproduce...

Don't forget plugging powerpoints so the little darlings couldn't put the fork in & cupboard door child-proof latches.

I will add that to the list.

[thehollowmen]

I hear you.
I'm wondering if pooping on my voting paper is a count of no confidence.

For a moment I wondered if you were joking. But actually I don't care.

I've voted Labour the last few elections, but this time I'm going to vote for the party that makes the rednecks on KB the angriest. So who is it, people: Labour or Green?

Don't bother saying NZ First. I do have my limits.

Me, joke about something so serious?

Piss 'em all off big time, vote Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party.

So....no one fancies the Biker Party then?

[Coyote]

Meh, all I want is to see some tits quite frankly.

[The Stranger:Me]

There's one on Saturday night at my place. All KBers welcome.

It'd be a bit like the Maori party. You've set yourself to only having a minority voting for you.

Though if you're serious about the pies it could attract more votes. I think youre onto something 'big'.

[Manxman]

im not liking any of the pollys either. they are all damn scary when you think about having them in charge. none of them are trustworthy.

Agree. Unbelievably, no politician has to undertake formal training, or qualification to become one. Yet they lead the country...

Labour have run the worst possible campaign by playing the man, not the ball, and pinning their hopes on "Trust". I mean, what the...

My hero, Billy Connolly once said (something like): anyone who states they want to be a politician should be automatically excluded from being one.

BTW, in terms of common sense (my mantra), Rodney Hide is the only pollo that I've seen that actually talks any. That's not say I'm voting for him. All of the others (yes, including the Greens, who are oft portrayed as principled, but who in reality would screw us all in an instant if they had any modicum of power - just look at s59) are so busy trying not to put their foot in it, that they wouldn't know what common sense looked like if it walked up and slapped them between the eyes.
