Is green the colour of hypocrisy?

Is green the colour of hypocrisy?

Sue Kedgley is most impressed by the results of a survey showing that 85 percent of New Zealanders support making it an offence to use a mobile phone while driving.

Sue Bradford is totally un-impressed by the results of several surveys showing that over 80 percent of New Zealanders opposed making it an offence for parents to discipline their children with a smack.

Like all political parties, the NZ Greens have a black hole of fascism at their centre, where reside the policies that they are prepared to impose upon the people by force, if they deem it right so to do.

The democratic paradox

The democratic paradox

The “left” side of politics claims to be “of the people” and “for the people”. However, they have no time for ordinary folks’ views on such mundane matters as parental discipline, and so they dismissed the notion of a referendum on the proposal to repeal Section 59 because this is a “complex and controversial issue”. So the “left" attitude to the very class it claims to represent is the Leninist concept of being “the vanguard of the proletariat”. In normal words: “We know what is best for you.”

On the “right” side of politics, the prime claim is to be defending individual choices and family values which are commonly believed to be supported by most people. Yet the “right” also believes firmly in “authority” and “leadership”, and for that reason it too dismisses referendums, because the ordinary people are too dim and can’t be trusted. The “right” too declares with equal passion: “We know what is best for you.”

Both sides unite in unhealthy connivance to resist the right of the people to be the final arbiters of the rules of society. That is why the political establishment is held in such contempt by ordinary people. I share and heartily encourage that contempt, and the best way to express it is simply: DON’T VOTE. If enough of us refuse to participate in the political farce we will eventually bring it to a grinding halt. Its illegitimacy will be exposed and we can then finally grant ourselves our first democratic constitution. Finally we can stop the political class from imposing their will upon us, and instead force them to obey the will of the people.

First posting: The aim of this blog.

Here is a place where I shall regularly place my own thoughts and observations on what I see is the poor status that real democracy has in my adopted country of New Zealand and what I believe we need to do to remedy this.

My comments won't be restricted to the topic of "democracy" because I also want to express publicly, from time to time, my thoughts on other subjects that may have only a slight bearing on "democracy". However, the overall and underlying theme of the work that I want to put into this blog is quite truthfully the promotion of democracy in the fullest sense of the word.

This blog ties in with my web-site:
http://www.democraticconstitution.org.nz-a.googlepages.com/home

It is probably a good idea to visit it to get a clear insight into what I shall be writing about here.

On the web-site are are longer pieces and statements that aim to provide the foundation for achieving an awakening of the people's will to impose the Sovereign Will of The People over any assembly and over any government.

That's all for this opening post.
