Winston Peters put Jacinda Arden into power. She said: ‘That's super Winstone, now I can really screw up the country with my Woods and Do-Little MPs plus Willie something to top things off. National is gifting Tauranga to other parties who would love the seat in the next election. Tauranga cannot even have a Local Body Election; that's Putin-style democracy isn't it? Thats why we have an MP? Perhaps preoccupied.

Some feel a withdrawal of rate payments by a number of people could remind our Prime Minister to alter this fiasco and the number of New Zealanders who died in battle before she was born to protect democracy for all New Zealanders. Remember: we are one or were before you arrived.
