It's official - NZ Government don't need democracy

So PM John Key stands firm on his "absolute mandate and authority" without the need for listening to objectors on current state assets sell-off. Yet he and his party colleagues will no doubt use an array of sweeteners to get what they want.

Another example of the dysfunction of party politics.

If we are to drive a transformation towards a fair and prosperous society, we can't allow the notion of popularity as decider to prevail.

The problems of society as not simply technical nor solvable only with neoliberal market economics.

New Zealand needs to reinvigorate around a much more sophisticated political system that has genuine values that support authentic wealth for all, not pocket-lining biases and manipulations by and for the already over-enriched.

Time for a reconstructive, ecological, communitarian, and ethical approach to society.
