If one was to consider writing a manifesto the first rule would be to minimize the usage of clichés. When clichés were first uttered they were created by literary geniuses, but now they are phrases which are overused and betray the lack of an original thought. Just like the National Opposition. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, “Never has so little been said by so many to benefit so few”. We have the leaders of the minor parties, including ACT, grabbing most of the headlines whilst the most supported party within the New Zealand electorate has paralysis of the larynx.
Why has the National Opposition to this Coalition rabble become so ineffective? There is something seriously wrong. This COLs has provided the National Party with endless opportunities to annihilate their credibility, but instead of outright attack, there appears to be passive resistance and even support for the many autocratic and oppressive pieces of legislation that are being forced upon the populace. Where the hell are the politicians we elected to safeguard us from, or at the very least, mount a constructive challenge to all this?
- Why have you allowed the labelling of anyone who holds a view right of centre, as white supremacists and extremists?
- Why have you allowed gun owners to be classified as security risks and potential terrorists? Why have you joined the camp of climate alarmists?
- Why have you agreed to have our children indoctrinated in climate change without demanding equal curriculum explaining the alternative science?
- Why have you allowed the continued attack on our farming community?
- Why have you not exposed the ignorance and posturing of the PM?
- Why have you been so passive regarding abortion reform? Legalising the recreational use of marijuana? Workplace reforms? The suffocation of landlords, and the state control of all education options?
- Why have you allowed the hijacking of all transportation options which is being forced upon us?
I could go on and on, there is so much wrong with this Labour-led administration that you, as our representative, should have shielded us from, but you haven’t. Rampant socialism is their aim and you are allowing it to happen. Everything they had promised in their manifesto has resulted in catastrophic failure.
ACT MP David Seymour has shown us centre-right leadership that was once the exclusive domain of National. We have two votes. When are you going to convince us that you offer a legitimate alternative? My votes, and those of many others cannot be taken for granted. You have a lot of work to do this year so it’s up to you.
USA, Great Britain and Australia scuttled socialism in spite of the MSM’s relentless support of the left. It would be an embarrassing tragedy if New Zealand was the exception. Would you want that as your legacy?
