  1. Sorry. I voted Greens.

    Apparently there are as many lost souls to prey on in NZ as anywhere else.

    We first saw it with covid and the lack of empathy from some sectors towards the elderly and chronically ill.

    It is a sorry state when those who used to be able to claim they were conservative have given licence to those who would burn everything down for their own selfish purposes. There is nothing conservative about what they are doing.

    Its easy to pity the USA but Maga is just one chapter of a larger scheme with enormous resources.
