David Seymour’s radical far right Thanos plan to cut the NZ state in half
If you thought Seymour was going to pause his hard right agenda, oh you are deeply mistaken, like Thanos, he now wants to just cut half the entire State...
The proposal, which Seymour says could be Act Party policy for next year’s election, plans to abolish some of the 82 ministerial portfolios and to either cut or merge the roughly 40 Government departments.
…it’s total madness inspired by Musk’s DOGE and Javier Milei’s chainsaw.
It is nothing short of a full frontal attack on the State masquerading as cost cutting.
So not only is Seymour trying to start a race war and implement property rights above human rights, he’s going to snap his fingers and simply destroy half the State for the pure ideological symmetry of it?
He thinks the Māori Chiefs who signed the Treaty, Nelson Mandela and Jesus Christ would vote ACT, at some point the rest of NZ is going to stand and deny him right?
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Good idea David .Lets start by slashing the number of Mps starting with the ones that dont have any electorate MPs such as all NZ first .Then cut the list Mps from all other parties so we only have elected people in Parliament
Gordon, absolutely agree. Get rid of the list MPs and MMP. It empowers nutters.
If we have to have big government, can it be at least competent? Just please?
Good luck with that dream Henry
We have more government ministers than the UK which has a population and GDP more than ten times greater than ours. We have Ministers of Racing and Space FFS.
We can’t afford nice things in NZ like doctors, cancer drugs and MRI machines because we piss away our limited revenue on unproductive things.
Seymour talked up ending the school lunch programme. He ended up expanding eligibility.
Seymour spent half a term promoting his Treaty Principles Bill. At the second and final reading, he failed to win a single vote from an MP outside his own party.
As part of a government that has created new ministerial portfolios such as Regulation, Mental Health, and the South Island, Seymour now talks of a reduction in the number of ministers.
He’s kinda full of shit.
‘David Seymour is as usual absolutely correct.’
