The saddest aspect of this for me is when interviewed as to who they are going to vote for many people immediately default to what’s in it for them, in other words which party is offering them the best deal. The idea of what’s best for the country seems a long lost concept. The politicians rave on endlessly about growth, how they can promote growth on a choking planet beggars belief. We have replaced the ethos of collective good with unbridled greed. Interestingly 2.6% of NZers own rental property but well over 50% of our politicians own at least one and many own several. Conflict of interest who not us! The antidote to greed is to love your neighbour as you would yourself. I wonder who thought that radical idea up?
I think that is such an interesting poitn to highlight. Perhaps something we need to be examining in far more detail. Where can I find a reference for that stat?
