What legal means do we have to influence the polis then ??? without copying Don Vito Corleone

presuming this is not a pisstake directed at me old chap i'llgive you an answer in one word .....VOTE..yours to be exact .If some spotty wee smurf or arthur comes to you in election year promising the earth if youll vote for them or their "outfit",be very aware chances are they'll end up in paraliment ,on a fat salary +perks paid by yours truly ,to warm a seat and be a yes man ,unless of course they display extremely ingratiating/criminal /politically correct (in a nutshell aussie type poli behaviours) traits topped of by a socialist adoration of mediocrity.
allow me a couple of indulgences old chap as i reach the end of nigh on 5decades of nursing and facing the pension next year,so here goes
POLITICS -A CAREER ONE PURSUES WHEN WHO CANNOT SECURE A ROLE AS CONDOM WASHER IN THE LOCAL ESTABLISHMENT OF ILL REPUTE
THE PURSUIT OF THE FRUITLESS BY THE THOUGHTLESS IN A MANNER MOST AIMLESS
and last but not least
politicians-DO NOT VOTE -IT ONLY ENCOURAGES THE BASTARDS

imassured by a mate who roamed the beehive for a few years ,that the pom comedy yes minister was uncannily accurate!

You can keep all your own urine thanks, I meant to extract not a drop and I certainly don't want yours down my leg (no offence) I did vote for Peter Dunn couple of elections back when he promised that if elected he would bring a Bill before the house to create the GAC. Must admit that I was personally disappointed that the United Future vote did not increase greatly, leaving me to conclude that most hunters a) didn't care b) were happy with zero influence on their sport. Anyway Peter was good for his word and did bring in the GAC as part of the UF confidence and supply agreement.
The more important matter than all these 'pissing into the wind' rants is: What are the solutions ??? At present we have no united voice and are, to use the colloquial 'Farting against Thunder' !!! How about a bit of Focus like a Kotuku lining up on a Kokopu ???

feel free big fella you go for it if thats your gig .
me i sit back observe (as a nurse of 47yrs ive got as tad of expertise)and i realised years ago that the more humans try to make rules for every bloody situation in their lives the more foolish they look!
to wit -politicians in general are well paid fools!
I deal in what made IBM and humans a thing called a brain and looked how both have fucked planet earth.
to quote a late medical superintendent of mine in the early 70s

"until such time as level headed men can sit at a table in mutual respect and act as such no human problems will ever be solved ".
i went to school withPeter Dunne ,David Carter , both astute debaters ,quick of wit ,hence lost in the myriad of mediocrity which passes for government.
Gerry Brownleee i know as his ancestral homeland is the west coast,his whanau base not 5km from mine so when its name dropping Im as good as any!
in short i dont have any answers and even if i did youd betyour camo g string higher ups with personalised agendas or craven to vested interests would wipe their arses with my ideas. however let me assure you if .thats if i do get the bit between my teeth let no bastard stand in front cause ill roll right over the top as a few polis have found out over the years,and a few other self entitled bastards to boot.anyhow spent today with the drainlayers as our new home arises and ive just landed me another job so in short im as happy as a pig in shit! capiche
