Objection!
 
Abstaining in all likelihood.

I like National's economic PRINCIPLES but don't think their actual policies are that great. There's little to like in their social policies.

Labour? I'll never vote for a party that's beholden to unions. Fuck the Greens and Winston First. The rest of the small parties? No thanks. Basically as a social liberal with moderate/slightly centre-right economic views, I feel there's little in way of a viable option for me. I'd vote National if it were at risk of losing.

Might vote for the Mana Party as a protest vote.

Greens will get my vote again.

All parties are full of tossers who never get anything done, but the greens at least have roughly the right idea.

Getting sick of being told that it's a two horse race. I agree with most of what Greens have to say, can't say that for either National or Labour, so Green it is.

Probably gives me a "background in ag" which seemed to be the requirement for explaining your political point of view.

Half of NZ becoming organic farms by 2020 is a good one. Organic farming is the biggest load of bullshit ever if it doesn't have the subsidys to support it.

Please elaborate on the "bullshit" call - are you saying that yields are lower, so you need subsidies to make up for lost produce? Or that it's a more expensive farming method, so you need subsidies to make it viable? Or something else (I am not a farmer or organic fanboi)

Absolutely! Hear hear! There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to worry about the state of our rivers and waterways in New Zealand. Why, they're practically pristine. Especially when compared to the waterways in some other nations. We don't really need to worry about our rivers and waterways until they start to look like this:

Gotta remember that Ag is always a big earner for NZ, so farmers will get special treatment to avoid anything that reduces that.

Of course stupid things like pollution, tax, and accountability get brushed aside due to this.

So yes, Greens are never going to get in full power while they are Environment > Farmers, but at least they are now a counter-balance to the farmer's lobby.

Meanwhile Labour has 2 votes. Amazing that anybody would still vote for Labour. Verdict: the only reason Green is polling well here is because of disaffected Labour supporters who have deserted an incompetent part. Just switching one left party for another and doesn't really mean anything.

It would be interesting to see how election results went if the right had a party competent enough to actually take 10% of the vote from National. It's a shame that National only have to compete with the cluster fuck that is ACT.

Seriously, why try and explain something that only farmers understand? It's simply going to take to much time and effort. Talk to anyone in the agricultural world and you won't get a single vote for the greens. I've said all I'm going to say. I have my own opinion and others have theirs.

Fuck you if you don't like it.

Hassle, Poor crops, disputes with neighbouring farms over sprays used, govt subsidies to offset crop loss/low yields. The list goes on.

It is not viable in this day and age. Very few people actually buy organic food. Except in NZGames case where the majority here clearly love tree huggers.

Fucking trees, getting in the away off all them fucking car parks.

Hah, I know a few who consistently vote Green. They also let the native bush regrow in their gullies and take extra care not to pollute their rivers.
