I don't see much of a future for David Shearer. As sympathetic as some Labour party loyalists may be to his scratchy party policies, he doesn't have much of a chance. His leadership is much like Phil Goff's. Too much hot air, nothing too intelligent to say and not enough of an intellect to outsmart Mr. Slippery.
Shearer was voted in as the Labour Party leader after another electoral defeat in the 2011 election. It was hoped Labour would embrace Shearer's different approach to politics, so that left wing voters could be optimistic about 2014's election chances. To date, it has been to no avail. Shearer can clap his hand over his mouth in disgust at slip ups which Mr. Key has had. Acting surprised means very little in politics. Good delivery seems to be the most important way of getting in to office (sadly). Gone are those days where delivering good results determined one's political future.
National will likely win the next election, forming a coalition with NZ First, as well as the Conservative party (who are quickly gaining the support of disillusioned voters from National and Labour). After National's third tirade in office concludes, a Labour/Green coalition will seize power, introducing "green taxes" alongside squandered spending. Something which their voters find out too late is how domineering such policies are. These days, people who question the Green party's motives are met with scorn. Bring it on. The whole man made climate change farce has proven to be nothing more than a totalitarian control method. Unemployment benefits place's a person's entire livelihood on the state, who can eliminate or reduce these payments at any time.
New Zealand beneficiaries need not worry. National's spending on handouts has increased, despite having prepared a "zero budget." Although New Zealand politics is among the least corrupt, constant ramblings, alongside radical career saving moves has left everyone with a centre wing party, a left wing party and a radical left wing party. Conservatives can be optimistic. Their party is gaining a loyal support group (like the Green Party did in its early days) simply by standing true to policies which they believe will better society.
Don't be surprised if the Greens and Conservatives gain an increased number of votes in the next election. Then again, don't expect a high number of people to even turn up to vote for the next election. Why vote for someone you can't trust?
Going to Doha in true Green style
The ongoing talk about man man climate change continues, with a youth delegate being flown to Doha to enter talks with other nations. What exactly any of these representatives how to achieve remains a complete mystery. Unless each of them travels in an paddle boat to the delegation, they've immediately contributed to "climate change," unless someone makes an original contribution, no one is likely to give them any attention.
Some contributors have been critical of the skepticism which this blog has viewed on climate change being man made. Well, perhaps they'd like to give a reasonable answer as to why the world was warmer during the Middle Ages then it was now. As far as most scientists can see, people were not melting, polar bears weren't going extinct, island nations weren't drowning in seawater and climate extremes weren't threatening species.
***Before the end of the month, there shall be another article on Alcohol. As it stands, this blog already has two posts on the issue. Studies by Massey University show how people now drink with an intention to get drunk fast. Later on this month, a discussion will be up here and on Getfrank.co.nz.***
There has been an outcry over the rather unfortunate death of the woman who died in Ireland after being refused an abortion. While it is indeed very sad she and her unborn child were killed, a lot of the lax abortion laws lead to the premature deaths of many innocent children who are denied the right to life on earth. Many, like this rather rude blogger http://denisneedshair.blogspot.co.nz/2012/11/why-your-religion-has-no-right-to-put.html, look to dehumanise the unborn child by calling it a Fetus and saying it is nothing more than a blob of jelly. Abortion should only be reserved for exceptional circumstances like rape and if the mother's life is in danger.
Those who want to see what an aborted baby looks like can find some pictures here. *Warning The following pictures are very graphic and discretion is heavily advised.*
