TweedleClark and TweedleKey

Frankly, I can’t really spot any real differences between their political platforms. Their most significant agreement is in their contempt for the people. Nothing has exemplified this more than their grim determination to ignore the groundswell of public condemnation of their joint support for the Sue Bradford bill that has criminalized normal parents.

Worst of all has been their public commitment to ignoring the result of the forthcoming referendums on the twin issues of parental responsibility for discipline and on investigating the real causes of child abuse.

Given that at least 75% of the people have made it clear that they opposed the repeal of Section 59 of the Crimes Act, it is very likely that these referendums will be massively approved by the people.

With the “leaders” of the two major parties absolutely united in their determination to trample over the only bit of true democracy available to the people of New Zealand, what can the response of the people be other than withering contempt for the pair of them, for their sycophantic parties, and for all their dismal works in and out of “parliament”?
