It’s true. We deserve the leaders we get. We haven’t been paying attention to what has been going on in the highest offices of the country, and now, look at the state of things. By an odd quirk of the Law of Unintended Consequences, it was Covid that woke us up. We now see what has been going on behind our backs for many decades. We know who the plotters are and what they look like. We even know their plans for us. Covid has taught us a lot.
Klaus Schwab said, “The cut has gone too deep, it is too late to stop things happening now.” He is wrong. What he dreams of doing has been tried by tyrants and megalomaniacs before, many times. It never worked then and Mr Schwab must realise, before he does more damage, that it won’t work now. We will find ways to neutralise the globalist poison. Many of us have already done so.
We see our government infiltrated and in disarray. Successive governments have been elected without our insisting on more citizen participation from us, or on limited terms of service for them. We permitted politicians to get used to a lifetime of luxury and power. We may prise out one, or two, or more of the deadbeats in general elections but they are soon back. Both sides join forces to look after each other you see. With no limit on the term of office, the career politician is indestructible.
Term limits would put an end to political careerism. Nine years is ample time for a politician to show how useless he is, whether in cabinet or on the back benches. After nine years he must go elsewhere, never to return. Power to do what they have been doing since 1970 simply has to be limited. We need to demand a binding referendum for this.
Politicians are not a special race, endowed with superior intellect, able to direct us to a better future. On the contrary, politicians spend most of their time thinking up new ways to enrich themselves and to entrench themselves in their positions so they can never be dislodged from such comfort. It’s the best job in the world and they will fight to their political death to remain there. MMP is a joke. Here we are thirty years later still stuck with a two-party system as Labour and National swing in and out of power with metronomic regularity.
We have been naïve in not insisting that the fundamental duties of government are followed so that those elected to public office work honestly in the best interests of the population of the country, and not for race, religion, ideology – or lobbyists.
The oath of allegiance they swear when first entering parliament needs to have additions to ensure it includes the population who provides for them and not just a distant royalty.
We need a lawyer-proof constitution to which they swear allegiance the minute they present themselves for election, not after they have been elected.
Most of all, we need some serious protection from these people and we need it now.
We are the ones who have let this parlous state of affairs grow and we are the ones who will have to put an end to it.
Are you angry about being called “a river of filth” by Michael Wood? I am. How many of them think of us like that? With three little words, Michael Wood’s political career is over as it should be for a man who has so dishonoured his position and his countrymen. I want representatives with dignity, gravitas, and courtesy and I am continually disappointed. We neglected to watch them and just anyone got elected.
We have no rights with this government which has demanded our total obedience to the most outrageous demands and punishes us if we do not comply.
Without our rights, what are we but livestock?
Instead of begging for an end to mandates, we should be ordering their end, not bending the knee to these people. Politicians are our servants, not our masters.
We, the voting population, also need to be better. We need to be much more active politically for the good of the country. All of us. This is our home. We have nowhere else to go.
