The right is desperately looking for a new minor support party.
We live in an MMP system. The most popular party does not necessarily win even when it gets really upset and does not understand why it could get more votes than that second most popular party but because of a couple of minor parties have no stomach for it to remain as ruler.
I mean a puppet party that gets gifted the seat of Epsom by very rich people who know how the system works is one thing.
But according to the right parties that get over 5% of the popular vote are somehow taboo. The suggestion they should have a say in who forms the next Government has left National cold, mainly because they think that parties that do not support National should not have a say.
The New Conservative Party was thought to be one of National’s best chances. There was also the Blue Greens but they have sunk without a trace. Or rather they never rose and continue to show no trace of being viable. Kiwis can spot a puppet party a mile off.
But yesterday, on Anzac day there was the announcement of a new New Conservative party. The only problem is that it is clearly a split off from the existing New Conservative party. Because a former board member and twitterer extrordinaire David Moffett aka the Moff is behind this new venture.
His twitter game is a thing to behold. Unfortunately he has deleted his account although there are still traces of his twitter activity like this tweet posted two days before the Christchurch Mosque massacre.
In a case of extraordinary bad timing it started the day after.
The Moff has published this call to arms which includes these gems:
However, Communists and Socialists are not dumb (with the notable exception of our PM, Jacinda Ardern). In fact, they are as cunning as shit house rats. They have obviously decided to make allies of the rich and famous in powerful and successful countries like the USA, Germany, France, The UK, Canada, Australia and NZ. They have worked out that by controlling Governments in these countries with the help of the likes of Soros, The Global Mass Media, the corrupt UN and Western Politicians they can impose their insidious beliefs on the rest of the world.
Make no mistake, this is their first move to impose a World Government on humanity. A World Government where a few thousand chosen few will impose their will, poverty and brutality to control every aspect of our lives.
So the George Soros Black Helicopter UN backed attempt at world domination is a thing. And who would have thought it but Rupert Murdoch must be in on it all!
Then there was this attempt to explain our Parliamentary democracy.
Two of the tenets of a democracy are closely related to the basic tenets of Parliamentary Procedure. One, the will of the majority is supposed to rule. In a group of 100, if 51 decide to order chocolate ice-cream, the order should be for chocolate ice-cream. Two, the voice of the minority must always be heard. Just because the majority wanted to order chocolate ice-cream does not mean the 49 who wanted strawberry cannot be heard.
But making intelligent decisions based on what the majority wants will only happen when all the people make their voices heard. Sitting at home, making excuses and complaining after decisions have been made don’t cut it.
See. It is all about chocolate ice cream! When will the strawberry ice cream preferrers stand up for their rights?
But wait there was more.
I hear people saying things like, “It doesn’t make any difference what I say, they will do what they want anyway,” and “I can’t make any difference because I am only one person,” and “I don’t really care one way or the other,” and “What’s the use of fighting because I’m just going to lose.” (Glen Schuckers)
We saw that with the rise of Hitler in the 1930’s, but it wasn’t the people that shook themselves out of their apathy, it was great Leadership. We have a great World leader doing that in America today. His name is Donald Trump. But for him we would be deep in it already. Love him or hate him he is working 24/7 to fight off the twin evils of Communism and Socialism.
So, the short answer for New Zealand is, we need a great and charismatic leader to wake up the population to this impending disaster.
Putting to one side the question of whether Trump would have opposed Hitler the question is, who is the New Zealand equivalent of Trump?
I wonder if he has a MAGA hat. It could mean make Aotearoa great again as long as he does not have something against te reo.
There is also the compulsory introductory video which a wag has had a go at.
I hope that the Moff succeeds in getting 3 or so % of the right wing conservative vote. But no more.
The whole thing reminds me of this scene from Life of Brian:
