Keys Incharge.. What do you think?

[TheInformant]

What do you think Keys is going to bring the National Party? Good or Bad?

[Freeman Pete]

That all depends on the Election outcome does it not?
For example, Key looses the Election, then that is Excellent. But is that good for National, or good for the Nation.
Now I am also no Labour supporter either.
If Key wins the election. Then that is Excellent for National, but is it good for NZ?
He may win, and Nationals Party members will become rich, so good for them.
He may loose, and spend the next 3 or 4 years actually doing something to promote Nationals Policies, which he has failed to do since becoming leader of the opposition.
You see, the question isn't really what he is going to do for the Party. Nor is it relevant what the 'other' Parties may do for themselves. Because it is always for them and not for us.
We have a classic case of a 1 horse race. It is totally pointless in choosing who is going to run the Government, as it is the Corporation which is running the country, and He, or She who sits at the Beehive signing papers is doing that for the corporation, like the CEO as to what we see as Prime Minister.
We have no De Jure Government. Our so called Representatives are not elected by US. They are chosen from the inside out. We have a De Facto Government, one who assumes the power of De Jure through policy and not through popular vote.
So, vote? Really? Has voting ever proven to change anything? Jenny Shipley out and Clark in, Clark out and Key in? It is a classic case of a historical FACT.
Divide and Conquer.
We are all preoccupied with the spin they are baffling us with. Key said this and spent that, Clark didn't disclose this and backs so and so. Peters has done it again, and ol Rodney gets thrown out of Parliament for the day, because he was being naughty.
Jesus. Are we paying Billions of dollars a year i Tax and BS, to have our nation run by a bunch of lying thieving monkeys?
This is the spin, the entertainment, like a movie in small parts. Coronation Street, but Kiwi and in the Beehive.
Meanwhile a Bill has been signed that will bring into effect microchipping and obligatory DNA sampling at Birth. (John Keys little monster)
They are planning to raise GST and INCOME TAX.
The roads, OUR PUBLIC ROADS, are going to become Toll roads, just like in France where all motor ways and bypasses will be charged extra. Like in the UK, here they are planning a multi Billion dollar CCTV network setup, and recently in the news you may have seen the story about the homeless in AKL, and the council wanting to move them on. Setting up missionaries etc. Well, they are enforcing microchips on these homeless people, for their own safety mind you (BS) just like they are enforcing dog owners to have their dogs chipped. Nice eh? Your Taxes are paying for this, Billions of Dollars for BIG BROTHER.
Meanwhile 15,000 kiwis lose their jobs, and another company shuts down and is bought out by a yank. Our assets are being stripped, and our business owners are losing everything and becoming employees. Slaves.
But here we are, wondering what National, or Labour will do.
Simple. They will do what they have always done. Shear the sheep, and fleece them. And send the stupid ones off to war, and the old ones can go into a home, after the corporation takes all their wealth away.
Look at it like this.
We are the Sheep. The Government is the Shepherd.
To keep the Sheep from running wild the Government needs a Sheep Dog. Well, actually the shepherd needs more than 1, maybe 2 or 3 are best.
1 Sheep dog would be hard to keep the sheep from running off, it would be too hard on the old dog, so the good shepherd has 2 or 3, so as it is easier to control the sheep and they all run in the same direction.
Our Sheep Dogs are National, Labour and the rest. It is all a great big spin, and we fall for it every time.
I will finish off here, and recommend to anyone here who feels there is a lot of deception going on to watch this video by Robert Arthur: Menard.
"The Magnificent Deception", and "Bursting Bubbles of Government Deception".

Do you think that Obama is going to win because the Republicans have such a bad candidate?
Why did John McCain make his final argument against Obama... coal?
That's his closing argument? William Ayers, Rev. Wright, spreading the wealth, Born Alive, meeting dictators without preconditions, etc. all have to take a back seat so that McCain can go to Colorado and New Mexico to talk about coal? Does this more or less explain why he's going to get his clock cleaned Tuesday?

we should make our own New Zealand party. One that lowers tax on essential food items (whole grain bread, fruit, veges), and puts it up on non essentials (lollies, fizzy drink, white bread, icecream). Right now, it is cheaper to get unhealthy food and the government is wondering why our country is unhealthy? Poor people can't afford the healthy food they need in order to survive healthily.
We should also reduce taxing on clothes, and other essentials, and put them up for non essentials, (ornaments, etc). This would enable poorer people to survive, and own the stuff that they need. Putting the tax up on the non essentials and luxury items would ensure that the governmant till gets the money it needs to fund things (schooling, healthcare, etc) and continue running the country properly.
These two (or could be combined to make one )simple things can make our country better for its people first.
Do schools have tax? If they do that should be removed, and some limit put on the cost for uniforms and the quality of them. Buying a uniform (compulsory for most schools now) can cost over $300, and then the books and stationary and course fees also have to be paid.
I know many people who have graduated top of their classes overseas and come to New Zealand in search of a better, brighter future. A less crowded country. But no one would hire them. They have to retrain, get new degrees, work in a different field, even though many of them are smart enough for the positions they originally trained for. They would benefit our country with their expertise (and have been granted citizenship because of it) but too many people believe that their training was inferior or their language skills will hinder their work, just because they are from a different country.
We should make a test to discover whether these people from overseas have enough english to comunicate properly and whether their degree means anything in New Zealand!!!
And NO ROAD TOLLS!! Is this true? Has it already been put into motion, or still just an idea?

He is certainly a lot more moderate than National leaders of past *cough* Dr Brash *cough*. From the start of his time as prime minister I am seeing hope that we might be in for an actual centrist government. I find it very pleasing he has been able to lessen the influence that Act would hold by reaching out to the Maori Party as well.

While I did not want a National led government, it is turning out to be quite good for a National government. Hopefully he can continue to resist a pull to the right.
