The sad spite of the ACT Party
While Brash’s brand of malicious race baiting is in vogue again, Seymour steps up the tune and pledges to mutilate NZ politics by robbing the indigenous Treaty Partner of their only electoral bulwark against total assimilation.
This is mugging representative democracy for bigots.
The Māori electorates are there to represent Māori, you can’t just say there are lots of Māori in various different political parties so Māori have gotten the representation they should gain as a Treaty Partner, those seats guarantee a Māori perspective.
ACT want to take the politics out of identity.
Demanding to slash the proportional feature of MMP by reducing the number of MPs to 100 is like amputating your foot because you feel its weight is holding you back from running faster.
It’s small government sophistry wrapped with a bit of garden variety racism.
I’m grateful that ACT are wasting time on this spite because it means they haven’t stumbled onto how much gold there is to mine in the culture war.
Wearing a trainer’s body and a yellow head band does not make you an Act vote winner sex idol.
Seymour’s announcements in one word: desperation.
Ironically, if the number of mps was dropped to 100 I believe Seymour would stand a fair chance of losing his seat.
If this is Act’s contribution to politics, time to oull the plug on their life-support.
That man ‘Seymour’ is repugnant, and I just want to throw up at that picture.
LOL !,… I wonder if they ever considered their relationship with National may take a hit soon,… and they are seen as expendable…

One man ban (act) with far too much too say and far too much time on his hands (Dwtstars) time to get rid of this idiot
A drop to 100 would require a rejig of electorates to a lower number to keep MMP’s proportionality.
Oh yes, … ACT and the small government dancers.
They have stars in their eyes but two right feet.
