I’m a far right wing clown who attacks tax money going on anything collective, gimmie some cash and privilege. 

One of the great successes of National has been to implement hard right policy but have it sold as moderate. For some NZers, National is seen as barely right wing, for those on the bottom of the heap however, this Government is radically far right. The privatisation of social services is harming the poorest and weakest with zero voice, so their pleas,  their pain and their anger mean nothing., that’s why the relationships with ACT, the Maori Party and United Future are so important to Key, it generates the false perception of a broad church when really this is snake charmer charismatic free market evangelism.

Yes ‘communism by stealth’ in the form of Working for Families stays, but it’s those on welfare and state support who face the full wide eyed fury of reform and because those on the bottom have little political power or representation in the media, the brutality of that reform is ignored.

More pretend support around the table will be needed as National transform our prisons into forced work camps to benefit private prisons, increase charter schools, throw another 25% off of welfare and look to reinvade Iraq.

For those on the receiving end of National’s reforms, they are anything but moderate.

  1. One of the great successes of National has been to implement hard right policy but have it sold as moderate.

    An echo of the comms/spin process exposed in Dirty Politics – extremist proxies as cloaks for the moderate/nice guys.

  2. ….. ” generates the false perception of a broad church when really this is snake charmer charismatic free market evangelism. ”

    Hallelujah!

  3. Pretty well summed up Martyn,

    The heat goes on now that the emperor has no clothes.

    Key must real naked now, without the cosy smugness of the secretive black op’s to shield him now gone, and he is finally laid bare for all to see through.

    Now the gloves are off and when his own persona doesn’t hide the reality of his ugly carpetbagger style sell out style shows through his popularity will slide.

    When he has to begin those degrading ruthless right wing Douglas on steroids policies of privatisation and handing our of our sovereignty to TPPA the anger will rise to fever pitch by next year which may be key’s last before he is finally sacked.

    The people will get their justice finally.

    • I haven’t personally noticed any lessening in Key’s smugness and arrogance since the 20th. The unfortunate fact is that is he is unassailable at the moment. Can you imagine even one member of his caucus having the guts to speak out against anything that he says or does? Even the beast Robert Muldoon had a couple in his caucus who were brave enough to stand up to him. No-one in the National Party would dare do this, no matter how bad the child poverty, income equality or environmental degradation becomes. Candidate selection in National depends on blind subservience to Key and the willingness to abandon human principles for the sake of money and power. When the MSM gleefully rip into Labour and enjoy themselves while being egged on by Key, we should remember that at least Labour has had a few people with principles who have not been afraid to take a stand (notably Jim Anderton). National has none, they are a bunch of pigs all diving into the trough trying to get as much as they can as quickly as they can.
