Glassboy:kiwirock:
As for the words socialist in other posts, come on, most political parties including National have very socialist policies. I don't like the word socialist used as a dividing factor between people anymore than convervatists or coporatocracy as the current way of doing things.
It doesn't matter what you like or don't like, or whether you think that there are fairies at the bottom of your garden. Socialism is a real thing. It's a political ideology with its roots in the 18th century and has a major impact on the world ever since. It has resulted in royal families being massacred, civil wars and more mundanely the establishment of the trade union movement. People have been using it correctly, and you may even find that some of them come from families who have been displaced by war or political unrest. I appreciate the point you're trying to make but making it that way just insults people's intelligence and history.
Glassboy: Short answer: amusement.
...Generally net neutrality and privacy don't fit well with a socialist agenda.
I really don't know what to make of the IP. If it is just a rich man's vanity project, why on earth has someone of the calibre of Laila Harre aligned herself with it?
Demeter: I kind of cringe at the thought that Dotcom's on the Herald's list of top 10 trusted people in NZ.

KiwiNZ:charsleysa: So no one has actually put forth a legitimate reason not to vote for the Internet Party (apart from the fact that they signed up with Mana).
They have policies on other topics which actually sound good for New Zealand.
As for their policy of giving every household an internet connection, it's basically a modern version of giving every household a free simple landline with everything else being extras.
I have a legitimate reason(s) not to vote for them, I disagree with their policies, I do not like their people and do not like their partnership.
Yabanize: I think they deserve a chance, Most of the people that are bashing them are opposition parties or haven't read their policies, Or they just don't like dotcom (who isnt even a member) also there is no policy in there to stop him being extradited. If he is extradited the party will go on
They are doing cool new things like having a party forum and incubator to discuss what their policies should be etc. And it would be great to see other people in parliment apart from rich old men

Actually, as a teacher I really like what they are proposing for schools, a real switch to current education practices and a true shakeup to teaching in a digital community, with a focus on teacher development and a deeper integration into students different potentials being recognised and individually addressed.
+1 to the possibility of parents and teachers driving the path of education rather than "education ministers" with highly paid but out of touch consultants!

So you disagree that every home should have access to the internet (and fast too), You agree that we should be spied on, You disagree that we should become a world leader in technology and our economy should move towards technology instead of dairy, You disagree that tertiary education should be free, like it used to be (john keys education was free), you disagree that we should move towards smarter cities and homes, and have cleaner and greener energy, and green data centers
You agree that this man should be primeminister again?
