With
the National Government debating the merits of the “Emission
Trading Scheme”, we reproduce an extract by Mauro Vanetti's in
which petit-bourgeois environmentalism is exposed as an non-viable
response to global warming - green "ideologies of abstinence"
simply play in to the hands of the ruling class. What is required is
a genuine Marxist programme on this issue, which is outlined at the
end of the article.

Friday, 06 November 2009 |
|
On
July 20th,
2009, the Business Roundtable put forward its ideas about social
security.
Their
programme was radical to say the least. In a nutshell, their
proposal is to delegate the provision of welfare to organisations
such as churches, iwi and other non-government organisations.

|
By Graham Day
|
|
Saturday, 15 November 2008 |
|
The
National Party convincingly won the general election on November 8th attracting 45.45% of the party vote giving them 18 list seats as well as
winning 41 constituencies: 4 short of a majority in the House of
Representatives. Therefore National will be able to form a
government under the MMP system with the right wing Act New Zealand Party and United Future, and the possibility of extra support from
the Māori Party.

|
By Editorial Board
|
|
Wednesday, 15 October 2008 |
|
The
events of the melt down on the world stock markets and the ensuing
economic crises have overtaken the general election in New Zealand.
At present opinion polls vary enormously from giving National a 3%
lead over Labour to 18% respectfully. Quite clearly volatility is
building up within society.

General Election:Socialist Policies Needed |
|
By Graham Day
|
|
Friday, 19 September 2008 |
|
Prime
Minister Helen Clark has called the general election for November 8thhoping to win a fourth term
.
The general election date was of no real surprise as it was the much
predicted date being the penultimate date with which the government
could go to the country . The problem for the Labour Party is that
it is well behind in the various opinion polls which give the
National Party between 8% and 18% lead over the Labour Party. With
such a lead in the opinion polls the Labour Party is most likely to
be defeated.
