Our very own petty "Putin" of the South Pacific.

Hello to my Blog. I haven't written to you since last November because I've spent a lot of energy writing on Steve Baron's Blog: Better Democracy. So it's time I came back here, and what I want to say is just how depressed I am by the attitude of Mr John Key, our 'prime' 'minister' refusing, in advance, to obey the instruction of the referendum now under way by postal ballot.

John Key has the insolent effrontery to say that "he" will "change the law" only if he sees fit. To me it is just unbelievable that this little man can utter such crass stupidity. To put it as bluntly as I can: Who does he think he is??!! The People make the law. The People *are* the law, not one paltry politician, nor even a paltry "parliament" of politicians. Only the people can make and unmake laws. Only the people are sovereign. No single person or group of people can usurp the sovereignty of the people.

When John Key says that he will ignore the referendum result and only "change the law" on his own whim, he joins that lovely bunch of creeps such as the vain and corrupt Berlusconi, the gross bully Chavez, and thst serious thug Putin.

When John Key utters his mealy-mouthed platitudes about "restoring democracy" to Fiji, he is so deeply steeped in the soup of his own hypocrisy that he doesn't realize just how undemocratic and fascist his own political outlook is. Sadly the antiquated political system imposed upon us by force of arms so long ago lets him get away with his diktats... just like his predecessors...

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.
