The Daily Blog Open Mic – Wednesday 24th January 2018
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
BETRAYAL NUMBER ONE:

All those concerned about issues with the TPPA, now renamed and only slightly amended, will feel cheated, will they ever bother voting again, I wonder?
yes very concerning!…thus far only the Greens are holding on to their principles
Jane Kelsey was right. If people like her aren’t given proper information with which to make informed choices then the voting public are left deaf, dumb & blind, and a chunk of the population remain broke. While insiders with insider knowledge of the deal have free reign over the sheeple verse.
The rate of change is unprecedented. The economy stacked on $1.5trln in capital gains over the last 10yrs or so. Can that be repeated under a TPPA/ect regime over the next 10yrs while foreign corporate powers are let into the asylum is difficult to know under a Labour lead government and an ad solute certainty under a National lead government.
So do you support the government?
Short answer: no
Long answer: I support proper leaders debates so that normies know what’s on offer. If for instance parliament is full of duds then planning on how to leave democracy in safe hands becomes essential.
…at very least New Zealanders should know what we are signing up for…is this a democracy?
