    The Lord Rimmer of constellation "Atlas the power of Capital to order the universe alongside God" (by association with the cartel looting Troy known as the Philadelphian "Greek God and mammon fraternity" aka "patriarchy of Agamemnon") has a message for Earthlings.

    The Party of 1996 Wellington Central and 2011 Epsom (and agent of foreign interests in diminishing our national sovereignty) has some thoughts about a threat to their ownership of our democracy from another party.

    Rimmer in its ACT Leader David Seymour form said that while he could see his party working with Opportunity, he can "understand where Chris [Luxon] is coming from".

    "It's very hard to know what you're getting with them. I mean, here's one simple question: How will they decide which party to go with if they really are in that position?

    "Will it be their donors? Will it be their board? Will it be their leader? Will it be their caucus? Who is their caucus? Has anyone met them?

    A diversion, because of the threat to the influence of lobbying and wealthy donors that facilitates ACT ability to own our democracy.

    "There's a whole lot of big questions that I don't think have been asked, and as a result, there's a serious question over who you're dealing with and how can you trust them."

    He said that while "there is a possibility that they could be good", voters might find that "the people who hired the leader are the ones calling the shots".

    He means being good like NZF – agreeing to the order of mammon set by the Regulations Minister and the Employment Minister (including pay equity) – MW up at half the rate of inflation etc.

    I think he also just called the leader of the Opportunities Party an employee – thus someone of the working class. One can smell the fear that there could be some sort of class solidarity with other workers thus a risk to the coalition and how it operates

    None of us have met those people. They weren't elected, and that to me is not democracy."

    He also exposes his fear about them being elected. But look at how he couches that. Coward.

    Opps – the short outage was from putting in the new blogroll feed into the main site. It jammed up with the test site using the same resource.

    Now GPT is replicating the problem on docker so I can be sure it is fixed before trying again.
