I’m not the only one who cares about
democracy in
New Zealand, and if anyone needed proof that today’s 20-somethings have their heads screwed on right,
Mike Earley has blogged about the petition to the Governor-General to veto the bill where
election-campaigning theft is legalized.
Mike’s blog shows the moment the petition reached 10,000 signatures (it’s in the 40,000 region now).
Still, if the bill gets through, I think I will be allowed to demand $2 million from the public chest for an
election campaign and
really outspend these bastards. If they deny me, then I will say, ‘Hang on, it’s legal. Your denying me: it’s not an Asian thing, is it? Come on, did
Winston get to you?’ and create
constitutional chaos that way, with that slight tinge of
racism to make it all believable.
The petition can be found here.
