"Getting NZ back on Track". one of the most accurate/needed solgan of any election.

It is clear that something is going on. An the masses are going to have to explain to the politicans what we the people want from them. Seceret agendas
is not one of them.

The first task is to ensure that free speech is not restricted. Then we can
get onto the matter(s) of how to get this country moving forward.

Interesting point in the article that the Treaty of Waitangi contained no principles. I concluded that David Seymour is suggesting that NZ needs to
agree on what the Treaty means, which is kind of like peace in the middle
East. Not going to happen anytime soon. However, we do need to sort out what the Treaty means to-day to Kiwis, preferably without the courts opinion.

Let us first see where the majority lies.

The article is wrong in the paragraph regarding the Electoral
Commission - they do not set the law on the voting system - the
sentence <It has come as very unwelcome news to many individuals that
when they deliberately cast their vote for a minor party such as New Conservatives whose policies they supported, but which did not gain an electoral seat, nor cross the 5% threshold to gain parliamentary representation, their votes were not simply discarded, as apparently
used to be the practice. Inexplicably, their votes were taken instead
and proportionately bestowed on the very parties for whom they quite
certainly do not wish to vote!> is at best misleading - ignoring the
party vote does change proportions for remaining votes.

As usual, the column has little to do with the headline (James Shaw
and the Greens are hardly mentioned), is racist, spouts strange
opinions as fact, and links itself with The BFD - a sure sign of
vicious bias and lies.

As usual Rich spouts a lot of shit showing his tendency to show his vicious bias and lies! I suggest you point out the lies Rich rather than just make your usual fake accusation of lying!
