“An election campaign is not the time to teach people the fundamentals of political theory, and a candidate is not a teacher.

~ Ayn Rand, The Ayn Rand Column

Watch closely people. The election 2017 will be the Immigration and Democracy election.
No intellectuals required. just people waking up blue rinse Nanny by voting NZ First 15 % plus. Then we retire Woodhouse and Finlayson. John Key the traitor to democracy can go we think in mid 2018. Then we take democracy back and close the borders to SJW's from USA and closed to Islam.
