    Default World Democracy Index

    New Zealand is now ranked 2nd on the world democracy index, 2021. Up from 4th position in 2020.

    Maybe they need to update their research, they obviously don't have a clue what's going on down here !

    When the facts fail to confirm
    The beliefs you hold so firm
    It is tempting to discard them as untrue
    But you might consider whether
    Despite all your biased blether
    That it isn’t them that lacks a clue – but you

    The facts speak for themselves.

    2020 we were 4th. Our leadership grows more undemocratic by the day, now 12 months later we are second and what do we have to show for our democratic gain ?


    Government creating extreme debt, the likes of which we have never previously seen.
    State controlled media.
    Govt instigated racial division.
    Govt instigated vaccine status division.
    Communities to lose control of water to the state.

    You say the facts are speaking for themselves
    You must believe in fairies trolls and elves
    Your biased “facts” just show how hard you’re trying
    But either you or “facts” you quote are lying

    Breakfast didn't help - I have to stop this! Time to go fishing.

    Like the racist Willie Jackson said recently:

    Democracy isn't what it used to be.
    BTC went to $69K and now $16K. Good thing I’ve been warning you since it was $3K! I was right!
