“..When corporations bankroll politics – we all pay the price | George Monbiot..” (comment:..and the corporates/special-interests who own the new zealand govt…and how that ownership transfers into very bad policy for new zealand/new zealanders..)

“..Letting taxpayers fund parties directly could revive our rotten system –

- and at £1 per elector – it would be cheaper too..”

(cont..)

(ed:..and of course here in new zealand..we have a neo-lib govt owned by/ruling for the corporates who bankroll them..

..hence no action on alcohol..

..hence no action on affordable homes..(cutting overheads for the developers..and letting the land=bankers cash up/in dosen’t count..eh.?..)..and of course no capital gains tax..eh..?

..and of course key will do nothing about the gouging of us all by the re-sellers of building materials..

..hence no action on facing the costs to remove the evil/crime of poverty from new zealand..

..hence building roads over building public transport..

..hence the class/asset-robbery of selling assets/cash-cows-forever to the elites/1%..built/paid for by non-elite new zealanders..(btw..the privatised british big 6 energy companies..the model key is aping..have just all announced eye-watering increases in charges..just in time for the british winter/welfare-cuts..)

..this is what the rand-ite key has in mind for us mug-plebs here in new zealand..

..hence the suppression of the five year environmental report..(to protect the biggest polluters..the govts’ friends..the farming sector..from any scrutiny..)..

..hence the selling out of protecting the environmentl-devastation in the ross sea..(the fishing industry..)

..hence selling/giving our most vulnerable to the casino-operators..

..hence no moves against the foreign-banks sucking over $3 billion a year out of our economy..

..a govt minister is known colloquially as ‘peter dunne’..to indicate his being owned longterm by the tobacco/alcohol-pushers..

..these are just some of the corporates/special-interest-groups that own our government/fate/country..

..any hopes of progressive policies/healing our ills are dashed at birth by that special-interest-ownership..

..do we need public funding of politics to seize back ownership of our politicians/country/fate..?

..d’yareckon..?..)
