Nationhood – The Magic of Democracy

Letters to the editor

Democracy often clambered for but never fully realised and never always applied into a society that claimed to be democratic when choice was denied.  Slaves have no word.

In New Zealand, we have no slave mentality or lawful placement of slaves, therefore we are all free thinkers and obedient to the law of the land and to our God.

For all. All are equal.

The dilution of democracy by the denial of peoples’ choice by removal of referendum is the most corrosive process to democracy that exists.

The Labour Party of New Zealand passed a law that removed the referendum opportunity and permitted a secular appointment of non-elected persons to govern the populace, to be elite amongst us all.

The recent TCDC election to apply Maori Wards, was a surprise and yet Catherine Delahunty writes that she supports a wrongful law, which denied referendum on a Peninsula Populations choice of having Maori Wards or not having Maori wards.

But where were you Catherine, when the question was asked, or was it asked of you? Obedient to the law, we now must endure the costs of the process; all the while represented by an advocate for the denial of democratic processes and equal representation for all.  Question to you all: Do you want that person to represent you?
