New(?) Politics

Kay so, I was thinking, politics everywhere is fucked up. Politicians are typically lying cheating bastards, and I think America is especially fucked up, giving donations to your Politicians campaign? WTF!? You give donation to charity. These people are so rich and on a such higher salary than you and they want YOU to pay for their campaign!? Fuck them. The decision of who gets most airtime is made by the media over there anyway and in that case, the majority of the media is owned by a right-wing nutjob.

We can donate to our politicians campaigns in NZ, however I think their campaigns are limited to $100,000, and any donations over $2,000 can’t be anonymous.

The most prolific thing is though, politicians saying they will do this and that and then they get into power and all that stuff takes a back seat.

So what I reckon they should do is have a bunch of people in Government, but, instead of voting for a person, or a party, vote for policies. Things like “Get high-speed broadband up and going” and “Give less money to the Maori’s” and “Spend petrol taxes on Roads”.

That would get rid of the selfishness these people and parties express when they’re all shouting “Pick me!! Pick me!!!” come election day.

Be much better, a government working for the people instead of themselves. This has probably already been done and has a name-ism but I haven’t heard of it yet.
