KiwiNZ: Communist? .... No
NZtechfreak: People just have no clue what really constitutes left and right these days do they?
Ragnor: Generally people vote for who they perceive to be the least worst options or the party that has the most benefits for them personally.

Right and left have always been useless generalisations... people are more complex.
Consider a person could be pro free maket on economics but not for public good/natural monopolies (infrastructure), libertarian on social issues like gay marriage, yet authoritarian on other ones like tough on crime (3 strikes etc), conservative on some issues like the welfare incentives for solo women to breed outside of stable relationships (DPB).

They also often vote for the party with the leader they most like, or what their parents voted for/they have always voted for.
What they unfortunately do not vote for in many instances, is actual policy.

D1023319: Is Green the new Red
It occurred to me, most of the Green Party policies are very communist in nature.
They promote:
- Community transport, e.g. buses over fuel efficient private vehicles
- Community vege gardens
- No anti state asset sales
- Funny money policies, remember their print money scheme
- High density living = faceless uniform apartments
- State subsidies of all kinds

What do you think?
I'd prefer they focused on policies such as:
- reduced packaging for goods
- encourage holidays in NZ and not overseas, etc

The new Greens-Labour communist proletariat flag :-)
Fred99: People should take the test to see where they stand on the political compass.
code15: Thinking long term here:
Vote labour/greens to end up like a Nordic country.
Vote national to end up like America.
