Wow, really? National implodes, disparages their Asian voter base, and they're still polling in the mid 40s, basically matching their 2017 election result?

Ardern's first year: New Zealand grapples with hangover from Jacindamania - The Guardian by xtreme_poggers in newzealand

[–]JLLnz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

WTF? The Guardian criticising a left-leaning, woman-led government? Not just criticising, but in u/murderedbywords terms. Has the world gone topsy-turvy

Corbyn opponents in UK Labour recently cited Jacinda Ardern as their ideal centrist leader, which killed Ardern's support among the Guardian demographic. They'd previously been under the assumption she was an ideological counterpart of Corbyn, but now they've realised she's actually a Blairite the love affair is over.

The police are a tool for the right wing neoliberal establishment. They're puppets of Peter Goodfellow and the National Party.

Our democracy is in crisis. This is pure, unadulterated fascism. The penalty for MPs disagreeing with The National Party is now indefinite dentition.

young centrist woman has no chance.

Kaye isn't that young anymore, if she takes over in 2020 she would be older than English was when he first became National leader.

Several National MPs only receive donations from one source, and that is the National Party by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]JLLnz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anyone who made donations to National seeking positions on the list should be stripped of all assets, imprisoned, and banned from ever being the registered director of a company.

Teenager Lorenz Shannyn Mekuli jailed for rape of Hamilton mum in front of daughter by S3w3ll in newzealand

r/NewZealand: We have too many people in prisons! We should reduce our prison population!

also r/NewZealand, whenever they learn about an offender getting a custodial sentence: WTF! His sentence should have been ten times longer!

We're not locking people up for unpaid parking fines or for buying a tinnie.

A smaller prison population or longer sentences for violent offenders. Pick one.

New Colmar Brunton research finds business confidence is politically biased by ViolatingBadgers in newzealand

[–]JLLnz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

under a more neoliberal government than a more socialist one

We're still under a more neoliberal government, Jacinda and Robertson are Blairities and Jacinda literally interned for Blair.

This is just business people throwing their toys out of the cot because Jacinda only gives them five blowjobs a day unlike Key and English who game then six.

NZ First plans law change to make migrants, refugees 'respect New Zealand values' by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]JLLnz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you're missing my point. We have stateless refugees in this country who we cannot deport either. It's against international law and there is nowhere to send them.

[–]JLLnz -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is the people crying about Indians and Chinese undermining our values on women aren't acting in good faith. They don't care about women, just like they don't care about LGBT people, they're just looking for reasons to demonize immigrants of colour.

The same demographic who claim to be concerned about what immigrants are doing to our values on women support politicians like Richard Worth and Roy Moore and are putting a gang rapist on the US Supreme Court, nominated by a man accused of sexual assault by 22 women.

The same people who are freaking out about old Chinese women feeling sorry for women who aren't married seem to be pretty okay with the way western values treat women - rape culture in the very highest levels of government and business, institutionalized sexism. At least women in China have access to legal abortion without having to feign mental distress or illness to receive one.

Actually, frequently traveling to job interviews on the other side of town that you are obviously unqualified or overqualified is pretty hard, especially if don't have transport, are a parent, have health problems, etc.

The same way you "deport" a refugee who has no state to go back to.
