Lack of Interest in NZ.com's Political Forum

[imported_neo]

I havent visited these threads since before xmas and notice the lack of interest.

I notice healthy dialogue going on at http://www.vote.co.nz
a recent edition to the web.

I'll re-visit again in six months to see if the lack of interest is consistant.

A pity cause looks like the site is put together well.

Hello Irena,

If you want to have talk re politics, fire away. What are your concerns? and in which direction should we be heading?

Await your response

It's interesting to notice that most of the postings are pro capitalistic here as in almost any other website everywhere.
Why is that?
Answer is simple. Most of the 'surfers' probably have a good job and have their origins in the 'upper' class. And they have time to spend in the net.
Computers are also pretty expensive, so the poor probably don't have one.
This should not be the case, since majority of the citizens in any country are pretty poor. They belong to the working class or are unemployed like me (heh..) They are also worried about their daily bread. They don't have time, money or interest in surfing around the virtual world.

I've read that New Zealand like US have big problems with crime, health care and education etc...
More families are broken than ever before. Moral values are declining etc...

I'd like to know what is better there now than before the year 1984 and what was the cost of the transformation process in becoming a laissez-faire capitalistic country?
And what is the cost of being such a country?

I didn't find vote.co.nz very good at all ... it's mainly a soapbox for somebody to say what they believe with a few e-mail links thrown in. I couldn't see a discussion board or chat room or anything. I know of several sites better ... and this is one of them.
Other than that, let's try and liven up the debate a bit perhaps? Or are things too good in enzed right now? Nobody has anything to moan about?

Hello Zeus,

Maybe you'd like to check out the discussion on the thread United States of Europe, on the open board. Should find some of the answers you're looking for, if not, I'm sure would provide some food for thought.

A bit stale isn't?

I suspect that neo is affiliated to vote.co.nz. Watchmanz was right, its just a soapbox for one man to rant away on....

Here is the ultimate forum for politics.
