Thank goodness it is never going to happen. Much is made of this Supreme Court ruling that 16-year-olds should be allowed to vote. However, it is a meaningless sideshow as the Court is not a lawmaker and a 75% majority is required in Parliament to get it through. As I said, it will never happen. But That Woman (as George would have it) is in like a robber’s dog.
There has just been a sound bite on the 0630 news of her saying that she supported the decision – no surprise there. But then she said (and I quote from memory)’ I would trust a 16-year-old me to vote. I joined the Labour Party when I was 17, so why not?’ This was accompanied by the radio version of that inappropriate grin that she employs when dividing the nation or locking us up.
If that doesn’t just sum up the parlous state our leadership (sic) is in, I don’t know what does. She is now in her forties but still thinks like she was the 16-year-old her. Depth of analysis of what is about to come out of her mouth – zero.
And yet we have her wandering the globe attending international conferences of global leaders (pain in the fingers typing that) and signing us up to goodness knows what. These overseas trips, where she just happens to bump into leaders of the WEF or have tea and a custard cream with the CEO of Blackrock, are steering us towards this digital ID, do as you are told or else world that should be everybody’s nightmare.
I doubt she has the synaptic power to understand what she is up to, but it is dollars to doughnuts that her ‘advisors’ know only too well. NZ is currently being pulled along in a global river of deceit and servitude. And, she at the helm is so far out of her depth; it is truly scary.
I was 17 when I joined the Labour Party, so why not? Give me a break
