OPPOSITE OF DEMOCRACY IS DICTATORSHIP
Our democratically elected mayor and most councillors would rather have a race-based ward imposed on Auckland by government, than let the people decide. It’s of concern that they have no faith in the system that put them there and has helped Western cultures advance ahead of so many others.
It’s important to remind people that the opposite system to democracy is dictatorship – and it was a dictatorial move that foisted the Super City on us. And that’s hardly been a success.
Meanwhile the unelected and unaccountable Independent Maori Statutory Board (IMSB) is lobbying hard to be retained alongside a race-based ward, and why wouldn’t they? Their very well-paid elite take millions of dollars from ratepayers every year, get the bureaucrats to do whatever they want (in the name of “partnership”), vote on key council committees, yet don’t answer to anyone.
It’s time for the people to have their say.
