No, no one should have more of a say, but people should be able to spend their money as they wish. One person, one vote, not one dollar one vote - and with that I completely agree. I'm against annonymous donations. I'm against donating through trust. But a spending cap is wrong, and if people want to be part of the political process, and are spending their own money to do so, then so be it. Quote:

Little surprise that Kiwis who can are moving to Australia at the rate of 800 per week.

IMO voting should be like a driver's license. you sit a test to prove you understand the options that all of the parties are presenting to you, what each party stands for etc. if you pass then you hare informed enough to vote.
Harsh? well too bad. for next year's election I'm going todo my upmost to be informed about each party and I'm frankly going to be pissed if X party wins due to some lolly scramble policy and outrageous promises that only stupid people believe.

I see the issue of "donations" is biting the Labour Party on the backside in Britain as well.

And you thought the Terrorism Suppression Act was unworkable and incoherent...
I was leaning toward voting National in the next election but this Electoral Finance farce is really helping cement my decision. I wonder if Helen realises this bill could bring about her fate? |

A new version with 150 changes, delivered ONE HOUR before voting?

I still don't like National going for amendments though. I wish they'd totally wash their hands of it and continue to put as much pressure on as possible, rather than get tagged alongside it later on. Even if they are good ones. Either way, Clark and her pissant crew are going to spin it to their advantage. It's a fucking disgrace. Esp. the greens on this one. Where's Locke now? |

I think that may be just a little bit over dramatic for this situation. Just a little.

Obviously Ab is Prime Minister. Helious- gets the 'Macking' portfolio. Hannibal is Minister of Truth. CCS gets the 'Chuckles' portfolio. I want to head up the Ministry of Backhand Payoffs and Abused Priveleges.
