This post was planned before the couple of gobshites started trolling here, but not being a taxpayer-funded blog my posts have to wait until I can find time to write them up. By the way- its not the question- its the way you ask it.
Now many (or perhaps not so many) may wonder why on earth I support Libertarianz.
It's a small party catching a minute fraction of the vote.
Likewise, the chances of them getting a seat, much less crossing 5% are roughly the same as a welk surviving a supernova.
So, you ask- why 'throw away' your votes?
There are a multitude of reasons:
Libertarianz is about a lot more than an attempt to gain power. It's about ideas- specifically getting ideas 'out there'. An example is in language- How often did you hear the terms 'Nanny State' and 'Politically Correct' before Lindsay Perigo' started using them on his radio show?
Once you get the words into the language, people start wondering about them and begin that perilous process of THINKING! Those that still can.
Then there is the simple fact that all movements have to start somewhere. Most start small and stay that way for some time. Usually they are considered insignificant and somewhat pathetic.
As were the Suffragettes and the Abolitionists.
When I was young, the idea that a man of colour would be President of the USA was up there with an invasion from Mars!
So things change. History is a record of achievements pronounced impossible by the experts.
I know that this won't happen overnight- or in my lifetime.I will never see the Totoras that I have planted in their full glory either. That didn't mean it wasn't worth planting them, keeping the hares and sheep away from them and watering them in a drought. I'm doing this for the future generations and that makes it worth it to me.
All lot of you say the concept sounds all very nice -'utopian' is usually the word used- but it won't work given human nature.
I agree.
It won't work right now- not in its totality. There are too may flawed persons out there- now.
The Libertarian way will be viable when there are sufficent numbers of voters wanting to live this way.
Meanwhile, we try to introduce ideas and concepts. Hell- I hope ANY parties poach our policies! The policies are what it is all about. Freedom from the initiation of force and a government that exists only to protecting this right.
Libertarianz policy is not meant to take effect the day after an election- apart from in a few individual's dreams! Anyone who has bothered to study the website would see that there is a plan for transition. Contrary to what some want to believe- we work and live in the real world too! probably far more than a lot of academics and politicians!
Ten years ago- nobody had heard of Libertarianz. Now we are the best known of the 'little' parties. We are getting bigger- slowly but surely.
The fact that we get less votes than a couple of guys having a bit of a laugh is not really a worry. They got far more media exposure and hell- they were a vehicle for gathering protest votes. Years ago, pre-MMP I lived in a Labor stronghold- they always won with a huge majority. So I voted Macgillicuddy Serious Party. That's what Bill & Ben got- protest votes.
Libertarianz got votes from people who had done a bit of thinking. I'm damned pleased to live in the electorate that had 419 of them!
Finally- I know we are getting our messages out there, as the state-worshipers get so damned worked up about a few insignificant utopians...

Gracious be buggered!
DIDDUMS!
Well- what else were you expecting after nine years of your filthy hands in my wallet and your continual interference in my personal life!
You might get a handshake out of Key, but all I have on offer is a size 12 steel-cap up the arse!
Now you and all you unwashed green ilk,
your pet poodle and other sycophants,
and the paid fucktards at the Stunded-
FUCK OFF out of our lives FOREVER!

Dumbocracy
It started out as a good idea, but turned to custard.
When it all started, one had to meet certain criteria. You had to be of mature age and a property owner and were disqualified if you were deemed not suitable by being mad, criminal, poor or a woman.
Now everybody gets a vote unless you are totally criminally barking or have been sentenced to more than three years imprisonment.
BAD BAD BAD!!!
As The Master RAH predicted many years ago, this leads to a 'Bread and circuses' mentality. He sure got it right!
I totally fail to see how somebody can take part in the game without holding a few chips. IMNSHO, ONLY those who pay more in tax than they receive taxpayer money (WFF, accommodation allowances, student benefits, etc) get a vote. The one exception being pensioners who have paid their dues.
Don't like it- tough. Get a job or if you need supporting, defer to those who pay your way.
Show some gratitude and friggin' humility if you rely on largesse to live!

Either way- we are going to get shafted. Let's be hoping that its by a party that at least uses Vaseline...
UPDATE:

Who will they hate now?
Who will the left hate now that their darling is in charge of the USA?
It's going to be a bit hard to condemn the US for all the problems of the world with their pet sock puppet on the throne!
Oh dear, I guess it will just be the twisted inward self-hating as usual with no BushChimpHitler to focus on.
The amusing part is that the Messiah is never going to deliver all they hope. Nor even get close.
He is not an idiot- nor are his advisers. They know they you can't shut the lid on Pandora's box. You can't undiscover Nuclear fission/fusion, tech black & white people to live in harmony or please the poor.
You see, us on the other side know pain and hard time are coming*. We are ready for it.
Your followers are not!
* Yes, I know I don't friggin' live there, but the actions of the USA impact on all of us. The fucktards of the left actually had that one right!

It's NOT YOUR MONEY!
"The Maori Party is suggesting a $500 tax free payment to pensioners and poverty-stricken families with children to help them get through the Christmas period.
It has costed the payment at $136.5 million, and the party says it would help the economy as well because people would spend it..."
Ain't benevolence fun when it's somebody else's money!
Have you socialist swine figured out that this money would help the economy if it stayed in the hands of those it was taken from- by taxation?
I didn't work 13 hours today down a wet hole full of chemical-laden mud in a friggin' storm to fix a busted water supply so that my frickin' taxes get used to make the shareholders of liquorland richer!
If I gave a flying frigg about 'the poor' I would give to the local food bank.
That bloody $500 is my weeks taxes on my week. Money that I have earned.
Keep your friggin' hands the hell of it!

Random thoughts
I've been on the scene at a couple of these. One had been dead for a couple of weeks and it ain't nice!
The worrying thing is that I have been into houses of the living that smelled worse...

Watch for the b- word!
BAN!
Yes, it's that time of year again where we celebrate the attempt to blow up Parliament.
An event people relate more and more to as time goes on under successive regimes that continually erode our freedom. I believe that originally they were celebrating the FAILURE of this attempt- how times have changed!
The inevitable morons will commit arson in a consequence-free environment and we will collectively be threatened with the removal of a historical bit of fun.
Watch and see...
