Yes ACT is a relatively small party in the NZ government, but it has
influence, through money, on a lot of policy issues. Importantly, ACT
dominates the think tanks that are skilled at selling policies to
National MPs that they think are their own, but in reality are
financed by Atlas Network supporters. The NZ Taxpayer Union gives that
a very public face, and is probably better financed than the National
Party, but they also have those international Atlas links that can
feed them ways to express ideas to get outrageous policies meekly
supported by National Party politicians.

Thanks fully we are not in as bad a position as the USA, but we are no
less a dangerous position.

Yes your response is as usual a brain-fart with a total lack of
argument or justification. Perhaps you are an ACT supporter . . .

You really are in fairy-land Rich. You cannot cite any of this but
still believe all this crap.

The dangerous position we are in is that Labour might consider forming
a government supported by the Maori Party.

The USA was in a similar postion before the election on 5 November but
common sense ruled the day. The UK have gone hard left and things are not
going to well.

No, and they never will unless a more moderate parliament is elected.
