Where am I politically speaking?

Well I don't know how good the poll is but I found this one care ofr Kiwiblog and it put me slightly below the median of Auhouritatian and Libitarian and 7.1 towards the left.

So I guess I follow the typical leftish way of speaking in an independant way from the official Labour policy. Labour seems to split people off and in recent times they have lost those who formed the ACT party, the Greens, and the Alliance.

The only way National stayed in power for so many years was the first past the post system which disenfranchised so many.Those concentrations of left wing supporters such as Mt Albert whose vote would have been more use in other electorates.

Sharing the health dollar with the private sector.

This is raising blood pressure in the Labour camp and their blog ... which is such a pity that Labourites are so blind with their black and white approach to the subject.
There are many people in the country being conn'd by the health insurance industry with low premiums when they are young and healthy and spat out effectively by greatly increased premiums when they reach retirement age ... makes sense of course becuase they likely need more treatment in their old age. But the truely responsible system would have whole-of-life premiums.
There is only one way this can be done and that is to have either the government or an SOE organisation handle it with everybody paying in according to their means.

The black and white Labour approach is pure ideological stupidity.
