Recently, at a showing of Les Miserables, one patron was heard to say that nothing has changed, which made one think that he is correct.
National and Labour are making noises getting ready for the next general election with more promises for a better society,but for whom?
Why vote for much of the same? if an MP does not agree to resign if he, or she cannot deliver, then do not vote. Labour was in for three terms still no control on property investors, National the same. So young people trying to buy their first home have virtually no support, except for the Salvation Army the rest are deaf. So now we will build massive cheap housing not unlike the slums, that have been knocked down in the UK which produced much crime. The people at the bottom of the heap will soon realise that the system is totally unfair, and will react to correct it.
Many MPs are in The Parliament for No 1 and their ego, its easy to be humble on $200,000. Ask Helen Clark she went to look after the world's poor, on nearly 1M tax free. oh well someone has to do it. Can you hear the people sing?
