TWITTER WATCH: Ummm – I’m not sure that’s the Treaty Principles Referendum flex David Seymour thinks it is….
Ummm – I’m not sure that’s the Treaty Principles Referendum flex David Seymour thinks it is…
…because if you look at the data from the Horizon Poll, it’s all VERY damning towards ACT and their anti-Treaty Agenda…
…the Right have utterly misjudged the racism they are attempting to exploit here.
The vast majority of Kiwis see the Treaty as a source of inspiration where as right wing Boomer Culture Warriors, South Island rednecks and the insufferable Hobson’s Pledge losers are the ones proclaiming Elite Maaaaaares getting too much.
The Political Right have misjudged the character of this country to their infinite shame, the majority want to work together, we do not want to be divided the way ACT, NZF and National are attempting.
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.
You did not include Radovan Karadžić, Ratko Mladić or Benito Mussolini.
Or Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin and Mao.

Until we have an agreed version of our history there will be zero progress. I suspect elements of embarrassment and shame are barriers for many Pakeha accepting the very shady things their forefathers did in this country to facilitate land acquisition for settlers and alienation for Maori. It is promising that there are some who can see through the face value ‘common sense’ of the Treaty Bill and issues around equality being raised.
That would be a shame, since I doubt any nation ever has an agreed version of its history. I think one of the good things about New Zealand since 1975 is that we have understood that these issues are difficult, we won’t all agree, but have to do our best regardless. Act’s loathsome TPM seeks to impose an “agreed” version of history on us all, which is why it is so odious.
Agreed..very odious…
However .. groups with the most power and money…more often than not, ill- gotten… always have the greatest advantage when wanting their way.
That is why other methods
have to be employed to counter that unwarranted advantage…
Bob you are on point.
