ACT's David Seymour - i like his style.

[Blue Skies]

Another absolutely disgraceful populist policy from ACT, putting 17 year olds into the adult prison system!

David Seymour throwing more red meat to the angry ignorant rabble.

Imagine putting school age kids into the adult penal system.
Someone like Sam Uffindale's age when he was still at school & assaulted the young 1st year and broke his ribs, could have gone to prison.

Unbelievable how low this party prepared to go.

Can't be too school age if they're into stolen cars, ram raids, aggravated burglary, etc etc

probably all got early exit passes for life outside

unbelievable how low the excuses for these out of control little thugs are being thrown

The interesting thing is that under the current (and internationally subscribed) system they are tried as adults for serious crimes already.
ACT was party to the change when last in power - just another dog whistle to those who don't know how things currently work.

Election 2023: Act founder Roger Douglas not voting for Act, over welfare, wealth, tax concerns


Roger "NO Personal Income Tax to be taken 20 Years after GST Introduced" as Labour's Finance Minister ... throws a swinging Spewie

Guess Seymour has taken ACT where Douglas could never have reached ...

and as all would have guessed - good old Labour have pocketed the Personal Income Tax .. like the incompetent mob of squanderors that they always get found out to be

Go have a drink with Winnie - Roger and have a little talk about the old days .. when Labour loved you both before the cause turned around for want of better words .. sh!t on both of you

That's the Red Pigsty that both you were conned in aiding and abetting before being tossed adrift and abandoned by the hopeless hapless cause

Interesting Roger Douglas & founding ACT party member not voting ACT this election.

To paraphrase "The only thing dumber than David Seymour's face is his parties policies".

To be truthful Sir Roger did not say that as he is not an ignoramus like myself. To quote. Sir Roger Douglas says his former party has “lost the plot” and he will not be voting for it in the coming election because he believes Act only represents the wealthy.

I would add "racist deplorables" to "wealthy" when describing ACT voters. Although as I say this I support the negative reaction to racist policies around co-governance and hospital waiting lists but would not vote ACT on this basis.

Although I see nztx's interpretation of the same article appears slightly different to mine, that said I am not entirely certain of the point he is trying to make.

On what basis?

[Aaron]

On what basis?

Well ACT is polling 11-12% and assuming not everyone in the top 10% is individualistic (BlackPeter interprets this word differently) then who are the people that ACT's policies will appeal to?

Maybe my assumptions are wrong. I am not even sure what all ACTs policies are to be honest.
