Democracy NZ arguably just lost its best people with the resignation of five candidates: Dr. Matt Shelton, Kirsten Murfitt, Lee Smith and Bill Dyet, after the board fired Waikato farmer, Steve Cranston, who was also the party’s spokesman on Climate Change. 

Cranston says terribly sensible things like this:

The National Party speaks with a forked tongue – on the one hand it says it stands with farmers, while on the other it maintains policies that will still destroy farming communities, just at a slower rate. Democracy NZ won’t sell out our farmers. We will end the carbon emissions madness.

National has been for decades a fork-tongued perpetuator of the Climate Alarmism hoax - and all the preposterous legislation built up around that entirely false edifice.   And we know the farmers cop all the restrictive hoop-jumping in its wake, right down to the now common land-grabs. Yeah, that'll destroy farming communities pretty quickly. 

My question has been, can the board of Democracy NZ back its truth-telling talent in their candidates, or are they already fully focused on future compromises they know they must make in order to even be in the game at a higher level?

No, they obviously didn't back them. 

​Murfitt’s statement of resignation includes this issue with their board: 

 4. The systemic issues that threatened the party and the board refuses to address and resolve these issues. We have been told that the board will no longer be transparent with its decisions and that if we do not like the way the party is conducted then we should resign. The culture of the party does not give us confidence that the party will be successful at implementing changes if we are taking into parliament.

We do not agree that the issues we identified were normal, and they risk the party’s ability to grow and deliver. We have learnt, if we didn’t know already, that politics is a cut-throat business, but it is a recipe for disaster for us if DemocracyNZ operations and culture are not congruent with the promise of a genuine new and exciting political party and breed of politician.

At this early dawn in the party’s foundational culture, Matt King is playing old-school politics with the tired old pragmatic trope of 'loyalty to party' over the objections of very motivated, intelligent and serious candidates, who are professionals, having spent the last 3 years on the frontline of our new Totalitaria, fighting mandates, lockdowns and a Blitzkrieg of punitive rulings and legislation from our state. The DNZ party is in the fledgling process of still forming, is King not going to allow some of his ablest and boldest to be a pillar in that forming?

Obviously not.

The DNZ board seem to be making King acquiesce to what they know would be non-negotiable issues for coalition partner National, should they be so lucky and get somewhere in the election.

I can hear Cam Slater channelling Darryl Kerrigan: “Tell em ‘e's dreamin!”  

Or worse, “This is Monty Pyth0n level stuff: Judean Peoples Front vs the Peoples Front of Judea,” as he said yesterday on Reality Check Radio with Paul Brennan.

Hopium, he calls it.

It’s no secret that Slater has always held a dim view of minor parties as a general rule because they tend to be idealistic wannabes (he uses the term “purists”), instead of pragmatic, and they often revolve around one main issue causing them to only appeal to single-issue voters. This is often truly the case.

I, on the other hand, despite the obvious high crash and burn rate, like to see minor parties try to make a go of it, especially after watching our system of the last 50 years land us squarely in status quo, bleak pragmatism, without a noble ideal in parlance anymore, as the techno commies take us over from within. It gives us a signal that democracy’s little wild bouquet can still even be waved with sincerity.

​I wouldn’t be the only one who would like to see Winston Peters, or someone who does have a hope in hell of getting 5% of the vote plus (snake Seymour doesn’t count), who also has an understanding of how effing serious this unpatriotic globalist smashing of national sovereignty is from the supranational bodies of WHO, the UN, the WEF and the BIS.

Would Winston have the courage and focus on liberty to pick up these high-caliber NZDSOS candidates and endorse them as the type of bold talent that all parties now clearly lack? He’s cleverly positioning himself almost daily to take on the global fascists and these candidates have put themselves forth at a fair cost to themselves, knowing that’s where the war is.  True convictions are a luxury now that most people can’t afford, yet we need them now more than ever. 

Politics as we know it runs on loyalty to party first, which I find rather revolting as a principle set in stone - as if it were the most ennobling virtue in the universe.

Loyalty must be well placed to be worth anything at all.

These candidates have now just proved themselves to be a right, honourable, bloody handful and no political leader such as Mr. Peters would welcome that kind of serious “and I mean it!” candidate into his small pond that runs on loyalty to the party first, second and last. Given his age and experience, maybe he ought to, if his party is to survive and kick-ass over the next 5-10 years. At the moment it looks to me as if an iconic brand is fading.

As Murfitt wrote in her resignation letter: 

It is a recipe for disaster for us if DemocracyNZ operations and culture are not congruent with the promise of a genuine new and exciting political party and breed of politician.

A new breed of politician. Amen.

DNZ had an opportunity here to have exceptional people help set the very culture of the party in its foetal form, in the fundamental integrity of new politics knowing the gravity of what is as stake. But it looks to me as though they weren’t serious enough about backing their own talented professionals who were seriously messed with over the last three years by our system. If amending the Bill of Rights - in order to get it entrenched - means overturning 30 years of law and legislation, so be it!  (My own view.) Amend it to entrench it! No other legislation should have the ability to override any part of the BOR, especially the wokified Human Rights Act. 

​Pragmatism is “whatever works.” It’s largely what got us into maintaining these lowlands of bleak political status-quo because whatever works has proven to be “whomever is able to be bought.” 

Listen to someone whom I believe won’t be bought. Dr. Matt Shelton in his interview with Paul Brennan this morning on the exit from DNZ.

Coronavirus Plushie, the NZ-famous Twitter user, has encouraged people to formulate questions for Ashley Bloomfield, our former Director General of Health, after Bloomfield gas-lit an auditorium full of Kiwis at a public meeting in Upper Hutt, Wellington:

The tweet reads:

On Friday 9 June, Whirinaki Whare Taonga arts centre in Upper Hutt held an evening with @AshBloomfield, New Zealand's former Director General of Health. Here's the audio of the final 5 minutes of his speech, where you can hear Bloomfield say:

We are the only country, unique in the world, that after 3 years of a global pandemic that's killed over 20 million people, we're the only country that has what's called negative excess mortality. 

Many people in the audience, unaware that Bloomfield was completely misleading them, were no doubt impressed when they heard him say this.

After he spoke, there was a short Q & A where 3 soft questions were asked by people who were all clearly big fans of Bloomfield, then "Sir" Ashley quickly left the stage.

It was then that John Ansell stood up and spoke out, the video of which some of you will have seen already. (See below.)

​If you have a question for Ashley Bloomfield, please write it in the comments along with your first name if that's OK with you. If you prefer, because Twitter limits the amount of characters you can use, you can leave your question in the comments under the video in either Rumble, You Tube or Bitchute.

---

Observe in Coronavirus Plushie’s tweet and film clip, after examining NZ’s (and other countries’) all cause mortality increase in the data, Doctor John Campbell says almost exasperatedly:  

“Why is there no international outcry about this, am I missing something here? I just don’t understand this."

Well, because the time for questions has already come and gone, one New Zealand patriot did stand up to voice his outrage, none other than John Ansell, a former political advertising man turned activist in what ought to be his golden years. 

He livestreams himself calling out his counter-narrative challenge straight after Bloomfield had walked off-stage, note the abject hysteria of the little male usher who escorts Ansell out. This curious functionary was abusive, yappy and aggressive, he worked himself up into panicked tones.

Ansell remained calm and light-hearted, but firm in his assertion that Sir Bloomfield "was the greatest mass murderer in NZ history.”

Bravo!

In keeping with Ansell’s witty, erudite style, the video meanders into some quite interesting territory where the police come to talk to him outside the event, which he expected. But he was so present and calm that the cops just wished him a polite goodnight (reminiscent of the free world’s good old days - aka normal life to us Gen Xers and Boomers).

So while he had everyone’s attention, Ansell sings a ditty to camera that he wrote for Bloomfield, in which he refers to a 'Lord High Vaxecutioner,’ a term so splendid in its eloquent effrontery, that after what he did to this country under Ardern’s regime, the one thing we know the Bloomfields of this world will never do is place themselves in front of a wider representation of New Zealand citizens to answer any questions.
