1984 has arrived in once-Great Britain, where Winston Churchill once stated that "Islam is as dangerous in a man as rabies in a dog", where 40,000 Muslims are now on the terror watch list and traitor PM Keir Starmer has appointed a Muslima - an Islamic activist - as Home Secretary in charge of M15 and immigration. It makes your blood run cold to realise that George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" was truly prophetic and is coming to many countries, including New Zealand.
In the UK a man has been arrested for shouting "we want bacon"; UK police now arrest UK citizens for flying the UK flag; the UK has now classified cultural nationalism and concern over mass migration as an extreme right-wing “terrorist ideology”. The UK is a totalitarian state complete with total surveillance, speech police and thought crimes.
In New Zealand, PM Christopher Luxon is trying to kid us that "the social licence for immigration is very strong". He reckons that following the UK’s immigration policy is extremely important for NZ. Really? Do born-here Kiwis - of whatever colour - want to import incompatible cultures as in the UK, to betray our country from within?
Liberal democracy and secularism have failed spectacularly in the West. Even an atheist - British comedian Pat Connell - argues that only Christian nationalism can defeat Islam. To be brutally honest, that can happen only by the restoration of all things in Christ, in His Church.
In 2026 New Zealand First in all likelihood will be back in power because Labour and National will need them to form government.
New Zealand First are currently polling around 9%, just 1% below the Green Party.
As Mark Daalder at Newsroom has pointed out, in 2023 Labour lost a lot of voters to New Zealand First, and that’s the reason New Zealand First are back in Parliament and in power today.
They will be back. Labour was able to lead the 2003 and 2017 governments only due to New Zealand First choosing to govern with them. They don’t need electorate seats. New Zealand First have ruled out a coalition with Labour if it’s headed by Chris Hipkins, which means on current polls in 2026 there is higher chance of New Zealand First being in power than Labour.
NZ First are highly likely to be in government again next year. Why?
- Reliability
But is Winston Peters "reliable?" Really? After keeping New Zealand in suspense for four weeks in 2023 he went into coalition with Jacinda Ardern's Labour Party. Many voters will never forgive him for that.
This is caused by specificity in their agreements and lack of policy overreach beyond that during the term. New Zealand First are very good at nailing down specific coalition agreements.
In both 2017 and in 2023 New Zealand First formed detailed coalition agreements, and it’s one of the clearest performance metrics we have to go by in our politics. Here’s the 2023 one.
The New Zealand First influence is clear in the sections on infrastructure, energy, and natural resources, and in health, seniors, and strengthening democracy and freedoms.
Voters for New Zealand First can be assured that they will get another detailed agreement, and that it will be delivered.
- Leadership
For as long as he wishes Winston Peters is and will be the leader of New Zealand First. He is the most highly skilled politician New Zealand has, and the best politician in New Zealand since the retirement of John Key in 2016.
Winston treats the media with the same contempt they show for him, and clearly there are people who like that. He is played by no one in politics and tends to come out on top in any fight. At age 80 and after 50 years in the business he is still tracking at 7% preferred Prime Minister.
He shows no sign of slowing down nor of stepping down. NZ First has many weak ministers and people in senior portfolios but while Winston leads the party, leadership is a core NZ First strength.
3. Adaptability
It is very easy to characterise New Zealand First as largely narrow-band conservatives entrenched within a post-WW2 modernist sensibility of a monocultural society, a resource-based economy, and a tight political economy between business and government.
But if that were the case their vote would have died out with the rapidly shrinking scope of the state, the rise of multiculturalism through the 1990s, and the diversification of business beyond primary agriculture. They have evolved.
Winston really has themes rather than principles. He used to be strongly anti-immigration, and is less so now. He used to be strongly against public asset privatisation such as the sale of Wellington Airport to Infratil, but that barely rated a mention when debated by Wellington City Council over the last three years.
He used to be strong in rooting out public corruption, but for over a decade party funding now comes from major businesses. His patrician demeanour used to look like he was above the rabble, but he was the first and only Minister to front to the protesters occupying Parliament grounds in early 2022. Since then he has brought in anti-establishment figures into his party and into national leadership positions.
There is also clearly a segment of conservative Maori who gravitate only to Winston. They want their provincial towns to thrive, they want the economy to dominate national politics rather than Maori culture, they want hierarchical leadership with the state as sovereign over the nation.
While some of his older voters have died off or switched back and forth to Labour, he has also picked up new niche voter audiences. This constant audience-refreshing is at the core of turning adaptability into an electorate strength. It may seem politically perverse to be both reliable and adaptable, but that insults an electorate who can clearly distinguish between policy delivery and audience responsiveness.
So New Zealand First are polling at the best level they’ve had.
Through their coalition agreements they will continue to deliver. They are highly likely to be in the next government.
New Zealand First need to be taken very seriously.
On X (the world's town square) we read:
Winston Peters responds to Brian Tamaki’s March and Mark Mitchell’s response:
“This country has a Judeo Christian background, whether you go to church or not. I have always said we want people who we need, not need us. Our democracy is based on Christianity I understand that.. when they come here they salute our flag and obey our rules. I cannot understand some people’s (Mark Mitchell's/ David Seymour's) response to this.”
Both big parties who have the most power have indulged in the immigration ponzy scam which irrefutably leads to a breakdown in societal cohesion. Ask yourself why is it that Victoria Australia is busy changing suburbs' names to Indian ones? Why is it that some boroughs in Australia have sharia law as does Britain?
In the past decades changing the country’s demography through mass immigration is a recipe for a disaster and will destroy the nation. Look around the world for the evidence you need of this.
Will immigration be a major voting issue for YOU next year? Because we need it to be and vote in numbers for a party who will big enough to make real changes to the immigration insanity.
ReplyDeleteLet Muslims in let terrorism in.
ReplyDeleteThe world was a happier place before immigration fever took over. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do “ is disregarded, and their religious beliefs and customs are inflicted on the host country,creating mayhem.

ReplyDeleteWhat ill-advised, hateful words from the Christian camp - again. Winston Churchill was a disgusting human being who served his masters and obeyed Zionist orders. Islamic people are not what the media has portrayed them to be. You cannot judge a race or religion by a few wayward members - most of whom we see via the media are paid actors. On the Zionist payroll. This has always only been about turning the human race against each other by race and religion. Divide and conquer. The Zionist's gameplan to rule the world. We defeat their plan only when we learn to defy their attempts to divide us and begin to show tolerance and love towards each other again.
DeleteJude Bignell you're very kind and well-intentioned but I have to wonder if you've ever read the Q'ran or seen video evidence of thousands of Christians massacred routinely on an almost daily basis by Muslims in African countries, especially Congo and Nigeria. Perhaps I see feeds from Christian sources which you miss.
We need to realise that 'love' is truly love only when it means, first and foremost, love of God, and love for others by doing God's will for their benefit; and that 'tolerance' is not a virtue.
The conciliar Antichurch installed in the Vatican prefers to ignore this truth but the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church is the Church Militant and will not tolerate the evil ideology of Islam; we must fight it or be overcome.
DeleteJude Bignell bollocks
ReplyDeleteWell said Winston now tell Luxon and Seymour you won’t support their horrendous actions. Because the majority of real New Zealanders don’t support the Islamic invasion
ReplyDeleteIt's happening right under our noses and most people still can't see it. Those same people will have no idea what's happening in the UK as it is not seen as newsworthy by NZ media! Do some homework people! Get a glimpse of your own future and your children's future if you choose to keep sitting on your hands and staying silent! Unabated immigration is literally killing this country!
ReplyDeleteIt's too late the UN has corrupted our politicians
Steve Beazley the UN may have corrupted our politicians but to say 'it's too late' is to give up and surrender to evil.

ReplyDeleteThat's why vote for NZ first winie wants to stop all that B's migration this country won't be called NZ soon be called migrated capital
ReplyDeleteFlags alienate, flags differentiate, flags seperate the people...
to their deaths, through how many horrible wars, led by how many corrupt warmongers, did good young people follow flag waving, self enriching tyrants?
Winston Churchill, Teddy Roosevelt fed the young to eternal damnation.... following a flag.
There's a better way!
ReplyDeleteGreg Rasmusen Correct Greg. The only way Christ Almighty came to show us..For he himself said,I am the way thd truth & the life there is no other way. Now for those yet asleep & dead in tresspass what better way do you have considering WORLD affairs at this present time. Instead of mocking, read in the most sold ever good book in Matthew chapter 24 before you go any futher in arguments to the point of no return. It is SHOWDOWN TIME BETWEEN GOOD & EVIL right now.
ffery F Petersen In Christ, I am not referring...but ask the people who are inclined to follow... look forward, not with faith but with fact...for faith is deceptive, relying upon emotion...rather look to and within yourself for the answers.
ReplyDeleteFlags are constucts of faith.
But...to each his own.
ReplyDeleteGreg Rasmusen Fair enough Greg. Think aboit who's WILL is being done. Please read Genisus chapter 6 ,,, jump 4 thousand odd years & read Matthew chapter 24 please. Facts you will find FACTS ,faith comes along afterwards. Not in mans doings either.
ReplyDeleteJeffery F Petersen Fact is evidence. As I said....to each his own.
ReplyDeleteGreg Rasmusen Look what's happened after Charlie Kirk .
ReplyDeleteEye-opener about the UK. 🤔.
ReplyDeleteDid I hear that they already have five schools in NZ ? Beware Kiwis .
DeleteBeryl Harrison two already in Auckland and two applications for Muslim schools in Christchurch. In CHRISTchurch. Let that sink in.
ReplyDeleteLuxon has his head up his arse, by saying the UK 'social licence is strong for New Zealand and important'.... Ask him to go and live there with the present intake of unfettered Muslim migrants and now Sharia Law ......Luxo is nothing but a WEF FLUNKY.....and fence sitter, I guess we are all sitting with abated breath awaiting a decision on recognizing Palestine... I also guess, if New Zealand recognizing Palestine.....he will be a one term PM....
ReplyDeleteJulia du Fresne you might like to go read the Talmud yourself Julie...Christians defending Zionism and pointing the finger elsewhere are why "1984" could happen, they can't see past the end of their noses. The Zionist have done a great job of dividing the world. I totally agree with you Jude Bignell. Before the takeover of Palestine by the Zionists in 1947 Jews and Muslims lived side by side in love and peace.....go look up what the Nakba was (and still is!!!!)
VernMaggie Thompson did I defend Zionism? Really? Tell me where, please!

ReplyDeleteNo country should suffer the onslaught of muslim immigrants. If you can't leave your religion at the border, don't come
ReplyDeletePLEASE don't let NZ end up like UK!
Had to take a second look at the comment made by Winston Peters. After reading it, we already have a group of people in this Country who don't salute our flag and want a different one, don't honour our values but want their own, don't honour our country but want their own laws and Government and don't respect ALL the people that live here and tell us to bugger off ..... Thought he was talking about a radical strain that live amongst us!!! until I got to the last line.... well bugger me..

ReplyDeleteVery true overview. Christian principles are the way out. Eg: treat one another as one wishes to be treated. Government must always be separate from faith based religious beliefs. However Islam followers insist that faith/beliefs and governance are inseparable. Currently democracy gives NZ people freedom to voice their own views and values. Long may this last.
ReplyDeleteLiberal ideologies have destroyed Europe. Their open border policy has allowed too many immigrants in to the detriment of their own citizens. Europe is lost. It’s over for them. Will we in the us have the same result ?
ReplyDeleteEye-opener about the UK. 🤔.
ReplyDeleteStarmer is on his way out very soon.

ReplyDeleteTHE CURSE OF CAREER POLITICIANS
We as a nation have become worse… shamelessly pathetic… by allowing our political institutions to be so contaminated and corrupt.
The curse of career politicians and their parties must be TERMINATED.
The present government…National (Chris Luxon), ACT (David Seymour), NZ First (Winston Peters)…along with Labour, Greens, and Te Pāti Māori…cannot and must not be allowed to deceive the public into believing they can fix the mess they created.
Decades in power and what have they done? NOTHING to make life better for us.
That alone should be enough for 5 million New Zealanders to finally wake up and smell the roses!
Listen up:
🔹I never fell for MMP…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for the climate change hoax…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for the LGBTQI+ DEI perversions…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for the Green scam…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for the globalist control of our sovereignty…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for the mass immigration buzz…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for the selling off of our country…but this Government did.
🔹I never accepted globalism…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for the “No Jab, No Job” evil…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for forced mandates…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for race-based politics…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for removing traditional Christian values from Parliament…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for lying, breaking promises, and deceiving the public…but this Government did.
🔹I never fell for incompatible cultures, religions, and customs stealing our identity…but this Government did.
Enough is enough.
We need sweeping reform…not more bad apples from the same rotten barrel.
It’s time to pick fresh apples straight from the tree.

DeleteRosieMac McIntosh we are suffering under MMP, IT HAS TO GO WE NEED Drastic CHANGE, our people are not interested and apathetic, most don’t want to know as they are not educated to the importance of voting and what for. We are still suffering from Jacindaism, with no sign of improvement when Luxon calls her , his hero! It makes me gibber and weep!
