And then NZF Gumboot Fascism came for ALL the migrants: Why Winston is a Temu Nigel Farage
And then NZFirsts Gumboot Fascism came for ALL the migrants…
NZ First to campaign on ending voting rights for permanent residents
New Zealand First would seek to change the law so that only New Zealand citizens can vote in general and local elections if returned to government, leader Winston Peters has announced.
Stuff
…just when you thought NZF couldn’t get more feral!
Winston is a Temu Nigel Farage and his cavalcade of political circus freaks manages to bring all the most toxic males in NZ Politics together.
Redneck cheerleader Michale Laws, Former Conservative Party leader and love poet Colin Craig, walking concussion Taine Randell, Trashy Stuart Nashy, anti-abortionist and Handmaids Tale prequel Alfred Ngaro and Christofascist Elliot Ikilei.
These Culture War Trolls represent the worst of NZ and NZFirst’s unique brand of policy for donations and gleeful book burning ignorance is Gumboot Fascism.
Winton is like an octogenarian on viagra, a stiff old prick that no one wants.
He’s Pauline Hansen with slightly lower testosterone.
If I were really honest with you, part of me is giddy with excitement because if NZF are anywhere near the levers of power, if Kiwis really put these freaks in charge, then the corrupt destruction that follows will be so glorious.
If Kiwis are dumb enough to put these fascists in charge, we deserve everything that comes from that.

My wife who is an Australian citizen and a nz resident of 20 years would lose her right to vote if this policy came to fruition .However some of our friends are NZ first supporters ,so I will be telling them do they want one of thier friends to lose thier right to vote
The problem in opposing this is that many other countries don’t allow non-citizens to vote – I looked up the Indian electoral commission website and India doesn’t – that it actually seems not an unreasonable policy at first glance.
But then there is the old argument of no representation without taxation. Migrants pay taxes, and plenty of them, like NZ citizens do so why should they not have the right to choose who represents them?
NZ First makes the assumption that those who choose not to pursue NZ Citizenship are not prepared to assimilate any Kiwi values (whatever they may be) but the reality is much more complicated. Many immigrants keep their home country citizenship for practical reasons – family back there, easy to travel back without visas, investment, and probably many other reasons.
Some are happy to become NZ citizens because they have escaped persecution, poverty, etc and have nothing much back in their home country to look forward to but others still feel a tie to their home country so they shouldn’t be written off an unpatriotic or outsiders simply for wishing to retain that tie.
It is so NZ First/Farage in thinking. They need foreigners to come in here to do the jobs that Kiwis don’t want to do but at the same time claim that foreigners “are taking our jobs….”.
It is populist propaganda, but it is dangerous because there is always a ready made audience of cheerleaders for such policies.
Typical of right wing parties – they prosper when there is personal conflict so that is what they try to start.
The Right frequently put up diversionary targets to smash down, because they can’t, or don’t want to, solve the real issues.
Regrettably the targets of their diversionary tactics are the most vulnerable and powerless minorities in our society, that can’t fight back.
We know how it ends.
We will all be worse off.
The worst off, of us all, will be the targets of the right’s diversionary tactic.
The real problems will remain unresolved
And we will be expected to cheer this result.

Why is it people can’t see the difference between strength of character and bullying? Winston has turned into the classic bully, pushing his personal beliefs down everyone’s throat. They can’t be his pary’s beliefs as they come from so many different and bizarre factions. He is the leader of a bunch of “lost souls” and it’s difficult to accept his racial prejudices as again they are so “all over the place”! While I agree that we don’t want migrants taking the jobs of our home-grown workers, there are more decent ways of doing this including your suggestion of making them sign up to a union so unable to be paid a rate that undercuts Kiwis. Everyone deserves a fair go. Of course he won’t be able to get this through with Luxon’s glorious trade deal with India, so it’s really ‘pie in the sky’!
Finally someone saying what every real Kiwi’s been thinking. Only New Zealanders born in New Zealand should be allowed to vote and be in government, full stop. Born here, raised here, blood and soil not some recent arrival who’s still got one foot back in whatever backwards country they came from and wants to turn us into a mini version of it. Winston’s dead right to put Kiwis first. We’ve had enough of these globalist types and imported voters deciding our future while real New Zealanders get pushed to the back of the queue in our own bloody country. Time to put the boot in and take it back.
Yep it could solve any voting issues with israeli dual nationals. 🙃
