Hi /pol/!
So this year I'm old enough to vote for the first time. Should I go conservative or liberal?
I don't live in America so disregard Trump and Hillary - I just want to know if conservative or liberal alues are better. Leaning towards the right.

I don't know much about Australian politics, what are the main issues? You should vote for the people who represent you and your interests the best, and also people who you think would be competent to run the country

liberal policies are usually worse, but you can't just pick a side willy nilly. think for yourself and dont be a sheep
Use your own fucking head.
The reason everyone votes Left is because they're mentally enslaved and they're blindly following others.

Why would you have that much bread? At least toast it up.

Anyone who keeps the illegal immigrants out, your country is experiencing one of the most profitable economic situation.
Look how many countries have issues with mass illegal immigration and now look how well legal immigration works in Australia. Do not give in anyone who pushes this kind of madness.

>mfw I can't keep track of all my colonies
It's not Australia it's New Zealand but whatever
It doesn't matter
I don't even really care about what I vote this year I just want some deeper understanding of world politics generally
>The reason everyone votes Left is because they're mentally enslaved and they're blindly following others.
Everyone says shit like this but no explanation to back it up. What are bad left/right things? What are good left/right things?

What difference at this point does it make ?

Genuinely feeling relieved I'm not on the left.

Vote Winston Peters. We need to have a strong immigration policy to avoid the issues that Europe has. If you're voting for National vote out John Key. Try to find another candidate with a good track record to vote in. I'm not as anti Key as many other people, but we need more integrity in our politics. It's a principles issue.

it's not about conservative or liberal. In the end the establishment sticks together. Vote anti establishment
Can't say I've ever heard a think in my life about kiwi politics, so I have no idea.
So I guess find out who the candidates are and decide which ones sound better. Have to start somewhere. But always do it by the candidates and not by the parties. Parties are nothing more than criminal gangs and voting blocs.

vote for the one who stick to the immigration offices offshore policy
stay pure

The political compass website had a box like the one I posted with NZ political parties and I'm actually in the same area as Labour (2014 labour though)
I like some of Nationals policy but not John Key just on a personal level. The ponytail thing was too much - you're right, it's about integrity.
Not Winston though, he's kind of a joke
What do left and right mean
>>75856210
Don't vote for what people tell you, research issues and people and then make up your own mind.
Conservative and liberal are mostly just memes at this point anyway.
I have no idea what issues New Zealand faces, we see it as a paradise and magical hobbit land.
That said, looking at how my own country is committing suicide, it's hard for me not to warn anyone about voting liberals into power, whatever name they go by.
Oh, and don't use "political compass" sites. They phrase things in ways that you need to be really heartless not to show up on the left, they rarely give you the option to answer moderaly or under conditions or with caveats in mind.

kek. Fuck off cunt, but nice meme nonetheless
