poof went my world


I don't like you John Key. Your catch cries were never impressive because my brain was engaged... unlike what is apparently the 45% of people who beleived your sales pitch.
I want to know John Key, how you are going to fix poverty. I want to know how you are going to value the unpaid workers, the mothers and caregivers who are raising the future workforce of this country but don't get paid for it. I want to know John Key if you are going to entrench Maori seats, or at least get off that bullshit about abolishing them.
You want kids to read and write? How about you feed them first, and stop marginalising their often single parents by demonising them as a bain on society and a drain on taxpayers. How are you going to address the appalling economic outcomes of Maori and PI's in this country, your rheotric of entrenched welfarism is an untested bunch of dickcheese, a moral panic set upon the minds of people who think they are entitled to rights and privileges that others are not.
I am completely appalled that New Zealanders vote on the back of pretty colours and cute faces and bullshit one liners. What the fuck kind of engagement with your political process is that?
I am not happy about this election outcome and I will not apologise for it. You wanted this man to be your prime minister, you had better hold him to account if he does not give you all the shit he promised. Tax cuts this year? I got none and yet I am thanklessly raising two young men to be part of the economic landscape of where I was born. My children will not be stupid sheep voters, they will know, and they will understand. And THAT is my contribution to my nation.
