Labour govt again?

I went to a local political meetings where all the local candidates spoke and the National and Green reps were the most convincing speakers. Still, I'm not voting National even though the candidate impressed me.

No way the National Party is gonna get my vote either. I really have ZERO trust in John Key. The Right Wing (no matter how centrist it has become) is still the Right Wing - hang 'em!!
But then, I kinda feel I'd be compromising myself for voting for Helen's Labour crowd too.
As usual, it's looking like a Green vote!!

Banging On! voting in this system in NZ is divide and conquer, wot happens to those who want national who are a very large majority who don't get a say? hmmm, the state of affairs is England 1840 but this is NZ 2008 wahey, this ain't a football match

not voting in the u.s. election to save the world perse/idyit

Put my usual vote for the Greens in this afternoon

good party vote but still by-partisan sorry bru


Obamas catch cry. 'Can We Fix It Yes We Can', Winnie used that

everyone acted surprised that the green vote that was next to nothing came up as the hippies got off the couch like every year but a vote not wasted if your that way inclined perse

higher turnout, gen y turned 18 wahoo, more crap decisons from people who haven't lived

I saw an angry hippy drop trash today, stupid hippies, peace love and morons, 'we're so underground' wanna fight man emano emano, i shuda started a fight just because but dummies are annoying

it was a good day to ignore a silly system i wud never vote for, had a great day out

Well done NZ

Hopefully National won't lead us into as much of a shitstorm as last time

if your're a punk you wouldn't care, the status quo is the same system, change is changing it and we will not through protests or fights but through and by the people, make a bet, i'm more annoyed at hippys yelling peace while dropping trash, they needz sum edumacation

Guess I'm not punk then

It's always a disappointing outcome when the Right gets back into power - such a massive victory too and now there's Frankenkey's Monster attached to the equation - Rodney Hide.... oh joy.....

Yep Tim, status quo as, just as the most religious cuntry in the world goes as left as they can, the world goes right, dummies were like "well done nz, the rest of the world's going left" no they're not, have they being paying attention or do they have amnesia or being by-partisan and it's a reaction to the b admin anyway showing peoples conservative colours, labours looking more like act everyday and they did some orrible things while there such as the seabed issue, us terror laws which almost banned 'habeus corpus' round the world and so forth

watch the trap: fuck you buddy doco to see how they keep us apart by our own silly hands, 'it wasn't me' etc which is why you've got dum gen Y, why wot? and watch Stud Terkels interview on my blog i think or you tube just before he passed, he sed 'people aren't having knowledge passed on so they are ignorant basically so get informed' then choose don't listen to polis who whole job is to lie based in the english monarchy g wiz

the only parties worth voting for were Act or the Maori party becauee they were extremes and extremes change things hopefully for the bettermant for all but the middle is nada but then the system is set up to fail anyway for most, they call it going round in circles, health education and job's mut like rugby racing and beer blaaaaaa

a real uninformed vote is like a bloody loaded gun, the u.s. proves that

I suppoose I'm a little annoyed with the people who didn't vote and just let a right wing Government get into power, with no resistence what so ever! And all the dumbfucks who got brainwashed by "it's time for a change"... fuck humans are stupid!
Oh well, the next three years should be interesting, if nothing else! I tend to write lots of songs under right wing Governments... there's always lots of material to write about... dunno if I'll have time to record them though, I'll probably be a slave stuck in some gulag somewhere...

We need more like YOU but the dummies just don't get it, yea right

Puke for Mayor

I was thinking that the best political punk has come from under right wing governments. Dead Kennedys, MDC etc

So the best punk came out under Bush, I don't think so and yet things got worse 'as it were'.

Who other than you even suggested the best punk came out under Bush? I was thinking Thatcher/Reagan era.

It is true that there were no Bush Youth, Dead Bushes or Naked Bush.

However there have been more political punk bands from the US under Bush than there were under Clinton.
