Two Elections, Two Woke Defeats: But Only One Victory

Both the Australian and New Zealand left-wing establishments suffered humiliating defeats on Saturday night, but only one is a true triumph for the common people

On Saturday 14 October, on either side of the Tasman, two elections were held – the 2023 New Zealand General Election and the Australian Indigenous Voice to Parliament Referendum. Both resulted in resounding defeats for each country’s woke Labour Parties, but only one of these results was a victory.

And when I say “victory” I am of course talking about a victory for the common people – regular working and middleclass folk who bear the brunt of the tax burden and upon whose shoulders rests the giant global Ponzi scheme of fractional reserve banking, and at whom the privations of the envisioned Great Reset are aimed.

Most people still think tribally when it comes to politics, not understanding that, by and large, these distinctions are meaningless – red or blue, green or yellow, it makes little difference in the West which party or coalition of parties hold the reins of government. The term ‘uniparty’ has been popularised in recent years, most commonly in US political discourse – and not without good reason, for it accurately depicts the hollow clown show of the Republican-Democrat system – but it is no less applicable throughout the West: in the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Any so-called conservative election victory these countries have has very little bearing on the lot of the common person beyond paltry tax relief, slightly more favourable economic conditions, and perhaps a marginal deceleration of the globalist woke agenda. Summarising my thoughts on Saturday night as the New Zealand election result became clear I posted this on Facebook:

Looks like the National coalition has it. Does this please me? Not in the slightest. Very little of any significance will change in NZ. I did vote, but not for any of the big six parties, and not because I think it will change anything, but because it’s one of the few things regular people have left, so while I have it, I’m going to use it.

But if the past 40 years have taught me anything it’s that red or blue, it doesn’t make any difference: the trend continues. The rich get richer, and the working and middle classes get poorer.

By way of the one most obvious example, four decades ago, my parents, who were both just teachers at the time, bought a large four-bedroom villa in St Albans [a pleasant central suburb adjacent to Christchurch’s CBD], even though the interest rates were up around 15%.

Show me an average young middle-class family (let alone working class) who could afford a house like that with no handout from the bank of mum and dad in 2023.

You can’t - because that doesn’t exist.

It doesn’t matter what happens tonight – Nat-ACT government or Labour out of nowhere - the standard of living for the average Kiwi (and globally) will slowly continue to decline.

That said, I’d love a politician to prove me wrong for once. I’m waiting.

It’s ridiculous – both sides of the global uniparty claim to fight for the common people (because kindness and empathy is the new religion in the West) regardless of the party’s nominal platform, but whereas the centre-right parties class the ‘common people’ as the workers and entrepreneurs, the centre and far-left parties view the commoners as those on government benefits, or of ‘minority’ status. Thus, the constant tug of war amounts to little more than tax relief for the middle class vs. handouts for the underclass, and meanwhile, as the people squabble amongst themselves over these largely meaningless issues, the slow roll of globalism advances – the real issue, that which will eventually immiserate all regular people (underclass, working class, and middle class alike), the 2030 Net Zero Agenda, delivered by way of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, continues to bubble away in the background, enthusiastically endorsed by both sides of our corrupt and fraudulent two-party system.

The final destination is an eco-fascist world government, underpinned by the perennial spectre of climate change and the religion of Sustainability, and as long as our countries continue to elect politicians who are signed-on to the UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda, this will not change. The centre-right National-ACT victory in New Zealand is no exception, and while Kiwis may experience some trivial short-term relief at tax time, and might find it easier to start a business or be a landlord in the coming years, the general decline in our people’s standard of living will continue, as it has been for the past four or five decades throughout the developed world – regardless of which party is in power.

General elections are a sham, and the sooner most people wake up to this fact the better.

Referendums, on the other hand, now that’s somewhat of a different story.

Not in all cases, mind you – for one need only point to perhaps the most significant referendum result of our lifetimes, Brexit, to understand that even on such clear-cut questions of policy, the will of the people can count for absolutely nothing.

This is not always the case though, and last Saturday’s crushing No vote in Australia’s referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is, I think, such an example.

Unlike the quagmire of Brexit, which we now know was never set to be meaningfully implemented, the question of The Voice was relatively simple: Do we change the constitution to establish an unelected, extra-legislative cadre of professional activist lobbyists in our system of government, or do we not? It’s worth noting that it would seem, politically speaking, it is as difficult to get out of something as pernicious as the European Union, as it is to get into something as pernicious as an anti-democratic constitutional change such as The Voice. I suppose you could call this political inertia, and in the case of the Aussie referendum, inertia was on our side.

Australians voted overwhelmingly in opposition to The Voice at 60.7% to 39.3%. A crushing defeat not only for our globalist puppet prime minister, Anthony Albanese (whose priorities during his first 17 months in office have manifested largely as I predicted) but for the global corporate superstructure, who like nothing better than a woke side-door into the legislative process, like The Voice, through which they can tinker with the laws of the land to their own advantage – as I outlined in my piece The Real Reason Pfizer Supports Australia’s Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

While the New Zealand Labour Party’s humiliating defeat on Saturday night can be technically viewed as a good thing (for it represents the premature demise of the most despicable government in my country’s entire history; the ignominious end of the legacy of the most evil and divisive prime minister ever to hold office – Jacinda Ardern) it is not a victory for we the people.

But I believe Saturday night’s No vote in The Voice Referendum is a victory for us.

I was half expecting ‘election fortification’ as we saw in the 2020 US Presidential Election, so completely have I lost faith in the democratic process. But, as I just alluded, referendums are somewhat harder to rig, especially in a place like Australia where everything is still counted manually.

What we saw on October 14 was the true ‘Voice’ of the people, and as I tweeted when the result became clear, despite the servile capitulation this country displayed during the COVID psyop, Aussies have finally shown some backbone. 

This is what I love about this country, despite my many complaints. In many ways, it is still a frontier nation – infected with woke progressivism in its innermost urban enclaves, yes; but still possessed of a rugged, F-you attitude of self-determination… Yes also.

This wide brown land of ours (and I use the word “ours” with caution and respect, for technically I am still a guest here) is vast and its population widely dispersed – much like the USA. There are still thriving rural communities who want little government involvement in their lives, and great unheard urban populations of forgotten, salt-of-the-earth types, who just want to make an honest buck and look after their families as best they can.

The Voice Referendum result is a mirror-glass manifestation of this fact, and possibly (I hope) a reaction to the gross government overreach of 2020 and 2021.

There are few things that give me cause for hope in the current paradigm, but this is one of them.

And much like Trump’s ascendency in 2016, and the Brexit vote, and most other populist upheavals of our time, it may mean little. The Machine will keep rolling and simply now come at this thing from another angle – for come it will, continuously twisting and obfuscating and reinventing itself.

But for now, at least, we have a victory. Australia’s constitution remains untouched by the cancer of globalist progressivism, and the almost 8.3 million Australians who voted No have done a service to themselves, their nation, the world, and to the ethereal thing that we all understand as freedom – and, as such, to God.

I was unable to vote in the Voice referendum because I am not yet a citizen. I cast a protest vote for the New Conservatives in the New Zealand General Election (who won only 0.15% of the vote) and I knew I’d effectively thrown away my ballot. But I don’t care. I’ll be damned if I was going to vote for Labour-Light (National), or the ACT Party who I voted for three years ago but whose craven leader David Seymour subsequently came out in defence of the COVID vaccines and has not since changed his stance.

But were I able to vote in the Aussie referendum, it would have been a resounding ‘No’, and for once, I’d have been on the majority side of the political argument. And that in itself feels bloody fantastic, if only for a short while.
