Thank You

Thank you, To all who showed restraint, And refrained from Vandalising signs, Put up by those hoping to be elected, To serve on local bodies. I know more might have been tempted, So give yourselves a pat on the back, For letting democracy run its course, And leaving it up to your vote to give vent to your feelings. Despite all its vagaries, Seeming to most as changeable as the weather, Democracy cuts less lives short, Which other alternatives bear witness to.

Like everywhere else. NZ is taking democracy for granted. It has been said many times that being in the majority is only safe if the majority act to push back extremism whether to to left or right because they both want to cut out the middle ground and fight to death between themselves and when it suits them to crush democracy wherever the can even forming a temporary alliance to do it. but I live in hope and make as many submissions as possible on important issues. regards David in NZ
