Dunne Wins in Ohariu.
Peter Dunne wins – and is interviewed by Marcus Lush in which he mentions a certain Libertarianz candidate!
In conclusion – get out there and vote.
Tomorrow it is all on.
Thanks to all for their words of support. Thanks to my fellow Libz for a sterling job, especially on our Stratos TV specials.
Thanks also to the other candidates in Ohariu for their courtesy and good humor.
So now get out there and vote. I have nothing more meaningful to add at this final hour beyond what I have said for the entire campaign.
If you want more of the same vote United Future, Labour or National.
If you like bossing other people around and then feeling smug about it, vote Green.
If you consider yourself a libertarian / classical liberal but you do not care if the party you support is actually full of big spending homophobes. vote ACT.
If you think NZ was at it’s zenith under Rob Muldoon, vote Winston First.
But if you just want the government to leave you the hell alone – vote Libertarianz.
You have only one life.
That life belongs to you.
There is only one party that believes in that -Libertarianz.
In Ohariu there is only one candidate who stands for the value of self ownership, individual sovereignty, personal responsibility and servant government; Sean Fitzpatrick.
So tomorrow, start getting control of your own life back – vote Sean Fitzpatrick in Ohariu and give Libertarianz you party vote.
Doing so you are REALLY voting for YOURSELF.
Oh, and as for the referendum I am personally favoring STV – a system where everyone’s vote really does count!
Enjoy your weekend, everyone.
Cutting Government Spending.
Currently the NZ govt is borrowing $380 million a week just to keep itself going. In the last 11 years spending has gone completely out of control.
Libertarianz propose reducing the size of govt by shutting down some departments, commissions and quangos immediately.
Others will be wound down as their functions are absorbed by the private sector.
Some will have ownership handed over to the NZ public (who have been forced to pay for them all these years in taxes) in the form of shares to do with as they wish.
And these are the ones that will be privatized – the proceeds being used to pay down debt and provide annuities for the disabled and the elderly.
Message from Libertarianz Leader to all Members.
To all Libertarianz members:
The Blandification of (N)ACT.
Lindsay Perigo laments the lost opportunity for ACT to, finally, become a true voice for freedom.
I note that Don Brash, just before the Cuppagate “scandal” broke out, cited the speech in which he offered his personal musings about the cannabis laws as his “biggest mistake” of the 2011 election campaign.
Newstalk ZB quotes him as saying “No question about that, I should not have talked about it, it isn’t ACT Party policy, it hadn’t been approved by the board.”
I would say there are plenty of contenders for the Don’s Biggest Mistake Award, but the marijuana speech isn’t one of them. Don’s mistake in that regard was to lose his nerve after the event, even though public opinion was overwhelmingly on his side for once.
