You can not argue there is no clear choice this election.
You can either have National’s tax cuts worth 2 Big Mac Combos each week
OR
You can have Labour/Greens entire rebuild of the health and education infrastructure alongside real poverty and housing solutions.

That’s right. 2 Big Mac Combos a week or a functioning health and education system that also lifts the poorest out of poverty while building 100 000 affordable houses.
You can’t pretend not voting is an option this election. It does matter.
Labour’s is even better because it a ‘fiscally responsible’ .6 of a billion dollars cheaper…the finance community should be on their hind legs applauding Labour’s superior financial nous and responsibility.
After all if you exam the historical performances of both parties Labour are definitely the better financial managers…..National are clueless…
And it’s claimed that National is currently spending $140,000 a day on Emergency housing. Every three days, they could have built a house with that money.
Can anyone tell me if this goes as a debt against the people in the housing/motels, or is National actually spending this money?
Have they moved to a privatised welfare system, where people in motels, run up their own welfare debt?
Well, well, well! I seem to be agreeing with you again, Bombarino!
When I add Metiria’s confessional statement on welfare to the Greens policy to rebuild the National dessicated infrastructure, there is indeed only one choice for the old dinosaur leftie that I am.
I really can’t believe I’m actually going to vote Green this time…
The entire structure of western society is now in accelerating terminal breakdown, due to declining energy availability and the criminal financialisation of practically everything by banks and corporation, including the very system that sustain life on this planet. It’s all going to get a lot worse from 2018 on.
‘Most people aren’t paying attention. Most people have no idea what’s going on. Industrial civilization is already having serious health problems and heart palpitations. By 2020, industrial civilization is going to suffer a massive stroke. By 2025, it will be in hospice. By 2030, it will be dead.’
This terminal predicament (a direct consequence of the laws of physics and chemistry) has recently been described as Thermodynamic Failure:

All attempts to retain current economic-social arrangements are utterly futile in the face of collapse of the global energy supply. Attemps to expand current arrangements in defiance of the laws of mathematics are not just crazy beyond belief, they represent treason and betrayal of the highest order.
Needless to say, political parties will continue lie to voters until they can’t. That point will probably be reached about 2020, when catastrophic failure will be evident to even the stupidest of people.
In the meantime -now until around 2020- the political-economic system will continue to squander resources on infrastructure that will have no utility whatsoever a decade or so from now, and will continue to cause irreparable damage to the environment that the next generation needs to sustain it.
(We are not sure at this stage whether this year’s meltdown of the Arctic region will be the worse ever, but that of the Antarctic region certainly is

And nobody give a fuck, other than a miniscule -perhaps 0.1%%- portion of the population.)
