Seriously, a 'win for democracy?!'
From David Seymour...?
I have some strong doubts that he wants democracy. And I very seldom agree with Willie Jackson, but on this I think he has it right.

"Look, IÔÇÖm not saying ACT are fascist, but amputating Pacific, Ethnic, M─üori, WomenÔÇÖs and Youth political voices ALONGSIDE the Human Rights Commission make their shirts a shade of Sepia doesnÔÇÖt it?
A light chocolate? A bark?
Sepia, chocolate or Bark, whatever the shade of shirt colour, it is a brown though right?
Not over the top fascism, that takes too much effort and we are far too laid back a culture for goose stepping, but we enjoy a casual fascism in NZ.
A gun centric, public service mutilating free market level basic bitch bigotry we are talking about here right?
Amputating the political voices of Māori, Women, Youth, Pacific and Ethnic Kiwis ON TOP of killing off the Human Rights Commission ON TOP OF ankle bracelets on 11 year olds ON TOP OF allowing the gun nuts to abolish the gun registry ON TOP OF  billions into prisons ON TOP OF vast cuts to welfare ON TOP OF sacking thousands of public servants ON TOP OF vast tax cuts to the rich ON TOP OF a referendum to redefine the Treaty and force it upon Māoridom which will spark a civil war.
These are extreme policies which will cause enormous social dislocation and a level of violence that will make the Parliament Lawn protests look calm and rational.
ACT are drunk on their own sense of power and are promising ever more radical change which they intend to implement, no matter how many riots it inspires.
They are wide eyes acolytes who are believers and I donÔÇÖt think the vast majority actually understand their policy platform and how dangerous it will be to implement.
YouÔÇÖve all seen how useless Luxon is, thereÔÇÖs no way heÔÇÖs going to be able to stop someone as smart as David Seymour getting everything he wants in a post election negotiation.
We will get 100% ACT policy with no filters."

M─üori Development Minister Willie Jackson says in his opinion Act leader David Seymour - who he once described as a useless M─üori - is the countryÔÇÖs most dangerous man, and if he gets into power will make life a misery for more than M─üori.
Jackson said SeymourÔÇÖs Trump-like rhetoric was anti-M─üori and in an instant would wipe out decades of M─üori development.
Both were involved in a fiery political debate last night in Auckland.
ÔÇ£I want to say to our people, be very nervous because a National-Act Government will do away with everything that is dear to us. David SeymourÔÇÖs already threatened that,ÔÇØ Jackson told the┬áHerald.
In his opinion: ÔÇ£I think heÔÇÖs the most dangerous man that weÔÇÖve ever seen in New Zealand politics. He gets away with it because heÔÇÖs quite articulate, well-dressed.
ÔÇ£This is someone who will challenge and has challenged every High Court and Supreme Court judge whoÔÇÖs been in place since 1987.
ÔÇ£He thinks theyÔÇÖre all wrong. He thinks every Prime Minister since ÔÇÿ87 is wrong when they agree and talk about partnership between M─üori and the Crown.
ÔÇ£He believes thatÔÇÖs nonsense. He is saying that thereÔÇÖs no partnership in the Treaty and wants the Treaty revamped and reshaped. ItÔÇÖs Donald Trump-type politics.ÔÇØ
