OK after watching the news here I was enjoying the NEWS articles and reports coming out of the US in reference to the California Election for Gov.
I was surprised to find out that there was 155 canidates for Gov and yet only 3 were really give a chance to put themselves forward to the public on TV etc from what I could see. The report only mentioned the main 3 and only referered to the rest of the canidates as "The other Canidates" Not one mention of who they were or what they stood for.
Is this democracy? or is it just the richest gets the TV time?
Here in New Zealand, every party or canidate gets air time on all radio states and TV channels. Even the Idoit parties.
Now an interesting point that has just happened here was the US Ambassador trying to give a speech at Victoria Univesity here stating NZ wont get any free trade deals or any other big deals until we remove our Anti-Nuke policies, which ban all Nuclear powered or armed vessals and aircraft from NZ and her waters.
I can tell you now that NZ wont be dropping that policy, it was put into place by the Prime minister and is backed by nearly 80% of the population.
Is this the US telling us how to run our own nation?
