The problem is that either NZ embraces democracy - the rule by the will of the majority - or the many are ruled by the few. That is no recipe for harmony.<BR/><BR/>Also immigration is part of the modern world. There are an estimated 200,000 Kiwi's in Britain. 500,000 Polish, 800,000 Indian or Pakistani born - that doesn't include second or third generation. <BR/><BR/>I do regret what the British did in NZ but at the same time if you want to live in the modern world then you have to live with what comes with it. The more you lot come over here and tell us how beautiful NZ is the more we will come! And as a Brit with a lot of Kiwi friends: Kiwis do that an aweful lot!<BR/><BR/>Haere ra.<BR/><BR/>Steve Tolleysmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08443253811989204786noreply@blogger.com
