LOL, C'mon its only a $1.29 for 3 years or something minimal to that effect.
He has good policies too
We will make Internet connectivity 50% cheaper and universally available to all New Zealanders, including rural areas. We will take direct action to expand New Zealand’s infrastructure by building a second submarine cableReally, 50% cheaper, I doubt that. And what, are they going to put government money towards a second submarine cable?? Screw that, A second submarine cable (if it is even needed) should be funded privately.
Digital Currencylol
Introduce a government-sponsored digital currency.
Internet Party pledges to fix the unacceptable Novopay debacle as a priority.Keep dreaming, does the party think they can just wave a magic wand and fix it? It's still going to cost thousands no matter who gets voted in next election.
Encourage green technologies and protect our environment.ok, this one I agree with. :)
The Internet Party supports a clean energy future. We support investing in clean energy technologies that minimise our impact on the environment and promote sustainable development. We will push for New Zealand to become a world leader in green technologies and smart homes and cities.
Wow, good Obama lookalike, fooled me for a second.

Almost worth making a myFace account forAs much as I would like to join The Internet Party, it is not worth giving my personal details to the third largest data mining company
wow, with all the systems and coders this guy could use, he still needs facebook to get members signedup?
PS: Sue Bradford quitting made Mana a million times more palatable for me.. I hate that woman (and I do use the term very loosely) more than any other politician, ever.
She makes me physically shake with anger when I remember that she's still not staked through the heart, decapitated, the body burnt and the ashes sprinkled with holy water.
You do good work Lias.
Keep it up :-)
Yeah I'm a bit conflicted about that, but I'll summarize what I said during Facebook discussions over this.
I realize voting Internet-Mana is basically a stealth Labour vote, but no matter how much I am unhappy with the current National government, I won't stoop to voting directly for Labour or the Greens. I know that National are better economically for the country, and a lefty Labour led coalition will do their damnedest to bankrupt us. But I'd rather live in a fiscally bankrupt country than a morally bankrupt one, and given Nationals continued support for 5Eyes, TPPA, 3 Strikes, etc I can simply no longer stomach voting for them. They are morally corrupt, owned lock stock and barrel by the US and big business. Some of the so called "social justice" lefty stuff Mana/Greens/Labour support make my skin crawl. I dislike many of their policies. Hippie kumbaya PC bullshit. But my dislike of National's arrogance and the way it bows down to the US and big business gets my back up even more. It's a choice of the lesser of two evils and anything, even a return to Comrade Clark era communism is better than sucking more Obama/Big Business dick.
Plus I either support or can live with every policy the Internet Party (pre alliance) has on the table, I can't say that for any other party.
I see nothing about our old mate Winston in your big post lias.Winston First doesnt kick out enough immigrants
Hey.... I'm considering voting NZ First this election...

Chris is a digital native and musician. After gaining a BTech(hons), he experienced double platinum success in a red jumpsuit with NZ rock band TadpoleI have no idea who Tadpole are and had to look them up
This party infuriates me. They do so much right for me to like them, only for them to do so many things wrong also.

Tadpole were huge in their heyday.
I shall listen to them now.
Because we live in the connected age of analytics, there are some really weird statistics here.Tadpole were huge in their heyday.

Say you spent 561 hours playing a game. That is 23.375 days.
It takes ~28 days (about a month) to become Level A1 (Beginner) in any language
If you were, say, 13 years old and spent that much time on a game, then you would be probably A2 Elementary

Well, they've started with "Fuck John Key" so, I guess you can only go up from thereThis party infuriates me. They do so much right for me to like them, only for them to do so many things wrong also.
Still, it's an interesting show to watch, right?
Will they get these 'teething troubles' sorted, and start making sense?
Or is this doomed like every other minority upstart party, with policies too focussed to care about most other things?
I guess you can only go up from there
hahahaha what the hell was that

That is ~1000 intoxicated students at the on campus bar at the University of Canterbury, who've been raving and drinking for several hours, spontaneously chanting "Fuck John Key" after Kim Dotcom made a little speech during the "Party Party"
Out of control crowd writes stern letter to effigy of John Key
20/08/2014 at 5:10 pm
A stern letter written to an effigy of John Key at an Internet-Mana rally has led to concerns about the deterioration of our political discourse.
The Internet Party has been forced to apologise this afternoon after an out-of-control crowd at one of its rallies began chanting mild criticisms about John Key, before writing a serious and stern letter to an effigy of him.
The crowd of mostly students at Aotea Square in Auckland began to get worked up when party founder Kim Dotcom began making a speech that suggested it might be time to change the Government, perhaps not now, but certainly in one of the elections in three or six years time.
This led to the crowd chanting mild criticisms such as “Come on, John!”, “I like John Key, but only a little bit!” and “The current fiscal situation is not as good as I had hoped!”

So when is this big announcement? ? Lol bit late for it really
Winston needs all the votes he can get. The majority of NZ First supporters will probably be dead by the next election.
Thanks for voting for John Key guys
