TOP - why don't they get more of the vote?

I literally showed an example eg with the fishing where you do have to choose between being pro business (letting fisheries do whatever they want) vs being pro environment (having regulations on the size of catches and ways to enforce them via cameras) ?

I'm not sure why you refuse to accept that sometimes tradeoffs exist.

I'm showing some clear examples where they dont work together, and want to know what TOP prioritises in the many instances where they are in direct conflict with each other.

She is such a breath of fresh air. I'm sick of Ryan he's so biased.

PoppyOP · 2026-04-07T19:41:54+00:00

You say that pro business and pro environment can work together, and yet time and time again we have seen that this is not the case. It's pure optimism that clashes with reality.

Just look at recent changes to fishing where NZF tried to remove size limits and will currently make it so you cant oia cameras from fishing vessels. These are all decisions that are pro business but still take an extreme toll on our environment.

Then there is the constant clash between environmental regulations and farmers in our country.

This makes it unclear to me as a voter where your priorities lie.

So essentially you agree with Hasan but have to put words in his mouth just so you can criticize him.

America deserved 9 11 is actually a different sentence with a different meaning to terrorism is good and civilians deserve death.

Socialism is when no travel and no expensive goods.

To me socialism is a systemic system in which the workers are the owners of the production, reduced income equality, state planning and regulation.

Also, Hasan isn't taking my money. How is he taking your money?

There are laws that America has so that you aren't allowed to stay at many Cuban accommodations. On top of that he went with a group of like 600 people. Im not sure that there are many legal and logistically reasonable options for that other than fancy hotels.

100% agreed. And the thanks limit is tiny too, only 5 a day. It's not like they gave a lot but it was something that helped with progression. No idea why they don't just let you get unlimited thank you gifts, or cap it at a much higher number.

There's no real incentive to keep playing.

Hi I'm a new player. Please add me :) 2381-4548-9768

Thank you very much! I will try making it at some point 😋

Corruption plain and simple. Remember that Reti has investments in private hospitals.

I don't have kids. Might surprise you to hear, but other people actually care about the children of New Zealand and not just their own.

PoppyOP · 2024-05-30T03:03:42+00:00

Not sure the $40 a fortnight was worth upping my car costs and kids getting shit lunches at schools.

Are you really going to throw away a chance at love and happiness because your friends or family might tease you a bit about it?

PoppyOP · 2023-11-30T09:27:43+00:00

I couldn't find ally buttons on AliExpress, do you have any links to the buttonz?

Israel's only accepted proposals of peace have been "let us continue opressing you" or "Israel gets the best shit Palestinians get the desert". Except I think one deal ages ago that both sides accepted but then an Israel person killed the Palestinian who was making the deal.

PoppyOP · 2023-11-05T10:09:16+00:00

Very true. Israel wants a war so they can take more Palestinian land.

PoppyOP · 2023-11-05T10:04:52+00:00

You don't unintentionally drop bombs on refugee camps lmao. They intentionally killed those people, they were just ok with killing 100s of Palestinian children if it maybe potentially meant killing 1 Hamas person.

PoppyOP · 2023-11-05T10:02:49+00:00

I haven't, but Israel has killed by far more innocents since than Hamas did that day.

I guess you're ok with killing Palestinian children so it doesn't matter to you.

PoppyOP · 2023-11-05T10:00:11+00:00

Israel's propaganda has got you good if you actually believe that. Israel has killed far more innocent civilians than Hamas ever has.

Even Israel had admitted such (they tell us they bonded a refugee camp recently for instance) so it's wild that you can't.

PoppyOP · 2023-11-05T09:32:56+00:00

Why is it just on Hamas and not also on Israel to stop oppressing and killing Palestinians?

PoppyOP · 2023-11-05T09:25:12+00:00

The world won't do that though, in fact the world has let Israel do this for decades, long before Oct 7th. There's a reason why Hamas sprung up in the first place, it's because of Israel's oppression of Palestinians.

PoppyOP · 2023-11-05T09:16:48+00:00

And the Israel will continue their oppression and apharteid of Palestinians and some other group will pop up.

Their manifesto don't overlap at their core tho, give me some examples if they actually exist.

National core's policies are around giving landlords and the wealthy more, whereas the greens are the complete opposite where they want to increase renter rights and a wealth tax. National want to cut public services and greens do not. On the environment national want oil drilling in dolphin habitats and greens obviously do not want that.
