They're certainly different. They've officially abandoned their "hippy" origins in favor for more moderate and sensible policies.

Aside from the fact that he made a fool of himself by suggesting we "print more money" to devalue our currency.

I like the Greens. They've certainly polished their policies very much for this election, seeking a good balance between more centrist pro-market policies & aggressive poverty reduction / environmental protection stuff.

Neo-liberalism in New Zealand at least is advocacy of the false free market and corporatism, so realistically any party is more pro-free market than the National party - with perhaps the exception of NZ First.

After much googling to find out some facts that are rather necessary to answering the questions (the current minimum wage in NZ, for example): Mana, Green and Labour were pretty much tied at the top, ACT very much last.

A good party, at least in the sense it drives the right crazy. :lol:

Though the Internet-Mana party bloc is certainly going to be the protest vote this NZ election.

According to the test, I align mostly with the 'Mana Movement', although I'm not sure I fully understood some of the questions due to not being a New Zealander. With and without the weights, the Greens come in a very close second, and ACT gets dead last.

What if we called it quantitative easing? You know, the whole MV = PQ idea.

The only reason why the idea is stupid is because of NZ's particular economic circumstances. In places like the US it makes more sense (and, I believe it also worked but I can't be arsed checking because I don't really care).

Stop making shit up, though. Links, or it's a God-damn lie and you know it.

I am apathetic over quantitative easing, don't feel it does much, but it can help a bit. :)

I am much further left and slightly more socially conservative than Mana and Green. Probably because I don't know shit about kiwi issues so I voted neutral on the issues I didn't know about.

MNA 83%
GRN 82%
LAB 66%
MRI 60%
UF 56%
NZF 48%
NP 44%
CON 33%
ACT 23%
Pro: Communism/anarchism, Indigenous rights, MOGAI stuff, bodily autonomy, disability rights, environmentalism
Meh: Animal rights, non-harmful religion/superstition, militant atheism, left-leaning reform of capitalism
Anti: Dyadic superstructure (sex-gender birth designation and hierarchy), positivism, conservatism, imperialism, Zionism, Orientalism, fascism, religious right, bending to reactionary concerns before freedom/common concern, fraudulent beliefs and ideologies

Formerly "Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro".

Compass: -10.00, -9.13
S-E Ideology: Demc. Socialist (92% ditto/Marxist, 75% Anarchist/Social democrat, 0% etc)
S-E school of thought: Communist (100% ditto, 96% Post-Keynesian)

Though this says I'm a social democrat, I'm largely a left communist.
