Maybe you think National can save the day, in 2023? Yet how can they? Labour will be back again after do-nothing-National gives us a couple of years to breathe.
Same people. Same games. Same objectives. Same motivations. Same media. Same special interests. Nothing real changes and we know what our government can do.
We came close to outright forced vaccinations in New Zealand - with no conversation on human rights. The anti-mandate protesters tried to force that issue open, yet the only answer replied was riot police.
We need to break the back of government as we know it - before it breaks ours. It has gone much too rogue and it's getting late.
The only robust solution to the dangers of serious government overreach is extreme political decentralisation. Only decentralisation can sustainably resist corruption.
We need a political system similar to what we see in Switzerland.
Switzerland is amongst the most socially stable and prosperous countries in the world. Yet their central government is virtually irrelevant compared to ours. The body of nearly all their politics is local.
A decentralisation movement needs to push for local autonomy, with strict protections against government overreach. We need a real constitution that protects us. New Zealand's current constitution is not even legally binding. It is a joke.
We should also push for the freedom for people to develop autonomous new-build villages, and townships, that can be as independent from government as a cruise ship is today. Like in your home, this means nearly no external bureaucracy, regulation or tax. Can you imagine the efficiency?
Understand that totalitarianism is associated with the centralisation of power - freedom with the opposite.
The longer we procrastinate, the more centralised we will become, so the harder it will be to reclaim our freedom. Look at China today. We don't ever want to go there, yet we will with the next apparent crisis (i.e excuse).
This is a real political war now - and we need to fight it.
