Hi There.
Winston Churchill once remarked "Politicians occasionally stumble over the truth,but most pick themself''s up and hurry off as if nothing has happened".Sound's like the present government,which is well versed in the dark arts of spin,distortion and evasion.Is it any wonder that people think the political process is rigged to work for those who have money and power.While money is a big advantage in getting elected,it is your vote that has real power in changing the government.So make sure you are on the electoral roll and can be part of that change,for your own future and the country's future.We need the participation of everyone in public life for the health and well-being of our society,housing is a serious issue for a growing number of New Zealanders. Housing New Zealand is being downsized by the present government ,a number of these policies were a spectacular failure when introduced in the 1990's they didn't work then and they won't work now.Make sure you vote, a number of people say there is no difference among the main political parties,don't fall for that, there are differences quite major ones,so get informed by reading the paper or get on the net and vote,your children need a better place in which to lie there is real poverty here in a rich country.The political system has to change and work for everyone.
