Cameron and Key are basically identical but Abbot is pretty uniquely terrible and even a lot of the right in Australia seem to be sick of that man-ape already. Not super knowledgeable about Harper but from what I hear he is a Bad Man

Yeah it is kind of easy to occasionally get drawn in by Winston's constant trolling of National and populist rallying but they're easily the most openly racist party in parliament and the only one to undividedly vote against gay marriage

New Zealand should be a trail blazer of socialist policy like it was in the old days, only with a more modern bent of excluding racism and colonialism from the deal, instead of a testing ground for neo liberal policy and lap dog of corporations/ bigger countries as it is now imo

Butt Wizard posted:I dunno I'm sure it's probably capable to do both provided you're not obsessed with the 'steady as she goes' approach of never actually changing anything. I really don't think so, also if there's one thing that makes New Zealand New Zealand it's changing enormously very quickly due to very few limits placed upon the ruling party of the day to enact whatever changes they want

Butt Wizard posted:I am fully on board with outlawing unpaid internships & full donation disclosure. That stuff is easily articulated and easily changed. MMP has done a bit to curtail it (btw the reason we even have MMP is because it is amazingly easy to change major parts of the New Zealand system) but the elimination of the upper house in 1950 and lack of an official written constitution makes New Zealand uniquely susceptible to rapid change. I agree the National government hasn't made as much of a truly radical a change as we experienced in say the 80s but the actual fundamental parts of our society aren't particularly guarded against a popular enough party who wants to make such changes. You just need the votes really. swampland fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Mar 5, 2015 |

Butt Wizard posted:Yea the fact parliamentary sovereignty exists as a thing doesn't make sudden rapid change a thing in this country, even if it is possible. In the last 40 years there's been maybe three really big sets of reform that would fall into that category and they were mostly ages ago. I wouldn't consider it a characteristic of modern Government in this country at all. When does modern government begin exactly in your view?

Okay, I guess I'm talking about the more general trend of radical shifts in literally the whole way that politics in NZ is conducted, of which the introduction of MMP is included. The last enormous one prior to that, I agree, was in the Douglas era of embracing neoliberalism and since then the governments have basically been either extensions of it or softeners of its effects while still embracing core principles. That does not mean that New Zealand government outside of this narrow scope has not been defined by exceptionally rapid changes due to the reasons I outlined earlier, and, aside from the MMP system, nothing stops it from doing so again. Just because National haven't made as many changes as they could doesn't mean it can't happen.

Seriously, I mean I don't like John Key but I never took him to be this tone deaf to basic human interaction. It really seems like something that Abbott would be more likely to do.

I call bullshit, why would Glucina purposely sabotage herself for Key? I could understand if we were talking about smearing others for him, but the idea she purposely did a shady news item on this somehow knowing that the waitress would post a preemptive story detailing said shadiness is just absurd.

This could be interesting https://medium.com/@benrachinger quote:Mr Slaters blog is called “Whale Oil Beef Hooked” (https://www.whaleoil.co.nz). It has recently won the Canon “Best Blog” award alongside other awards for “Best Blog”, even subsequent to “Dirty Politics” being published. Many sane and rational people have asked the question: How bad is it behind the veil? Who is doing what? How high does it go? swampland fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Apr 30, 2015 |

That over the course of history that particular event influenced everything else and without it there's a good chance the British Empire would still exist. Nah I'm pretty sure World War 2 would have still happened regardless of America being a colony or not
