Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:
1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)
The last one is how government spending works.
Opportunity Party types think they are all that and a bag of chips, and keep on talking about their "new type of politics"... except we all know that's bullshit.
Here's their Queenstown candidate asking for a split vote, like those bad bastard billionaires who tried to hijack the election...
@akhilssy Thats the day Lewis was cheated out of his 8th title. Max only won because the race director manipulated it for him and broke the rules. No one should be proud of that day and that win
@PronouncedHare It's great seeing the left get more unhinged and crazy. Their lack of credibility is surely going to become more apparent to more people.
@warwick512 It is unheard of on this scale on the left too but it happened. The Green Party benefitted most from the Maori Party's illegal vote splitting campaign. The right was just responding to the left's campaign.
@aniobrien And the overhang on his side with the Maori Party was a deliberate and illegal campaign because the Maori Party did not have authorisation from Labour and Greens.
@TheZeitgeistNZ Be good to see some polling on that though. Most people I speak to are sick and tired of the special treatment for Maori people. Increased votes for NZ First and ACT would sort of prove she is wrong. Its the party that is soft on Maori privilege that got hammered
