Pies not spiesAn open letter to Krim Dotcom, Hoha Hone and Ms Harre.

New Zealand/Kiwis have spoken. As you slide into political oblivion I trust you will have learnt that Kiwis have values that are not for sale, and that there is no place in our country for the gutter and poisonous politics you choose to campaign on. New Zealand democracy is not for sale. Good on you New Zealand.

Dotcom, with his poisonous politics (as he defined them), laced with his 'buy an alcohol-fuelled mob' and Nuremburg rants, aided and abetted by others avoiding justice, has clearly showed that you cannot buy New Zealand democracy.

So my message to KDC is stick to KFC and pies not spies. Perhaps the National Party should thank you for their landslide victory and buy you a one-way ticket to the USA, where you will be welcomed with open arms.

Hone's 'Moment of Truth' could not have been more damning, and he got exactly what he deserved. I firmly believe he defiled and denigrated the word mana when he relegated it to second place in the Internet Mana Party. He may want to redefine mana by spelling it m-o-n-e-y, but I certainly don't. Perhaps the result is some form of utu.

So, Hone, time to give up the parliamentary credit card and concede defeat. That small gesture may restore some dignity.

As for self-proclaimed trade unionist Laila Harre, how do you rank your ideals of higher wages and better working conditions to your sugar daddy paying his employees $5 per hour for working up to 16 hours per day? Mind you, there is no way of knowing which party you will be standing for at the next election, so I guess consistency is not your forte.

She went on to say that the Internet Mana Party gave New Zealand the opportunity to do something new. Well they sure did - gutter politics, and subsequently consigned their followers to the gutters where they belong.
