David Seymour says Kiwis are too squeamish about privatisation – history shows why they lost the appetite The ACT Party leader believes government assets should provide a return or be sold. But a majority of New Zealanders are consistently opposed to more privatisation.

David Seymour says kiwis are squeamish about handing state assets - paid for by everyone - to ACT party donors to make profits they don’t need & reduce services & supports we require for a dignified life. #nzpol

Yeah David we’re as understandably squeamish as you are self-serving. Hugely. #ACTout

Changes to electoral law will disenfranchise thousands – and may not save any time The government does not want to spend the time and resources to fully modernise the law and processes surrounding our electoral rolls – so who are the real dropkicks in this story?

David Seymour is squeamish about people who won’t vote for him/ACT having the right to vote, and that’s why ACT fully supports National suppressing votes and reducing universal suffrage #nzpol 1/n
