Looks like David Seymour has spent the Christmas break in South America. Not seeing the sights and enjoying the local culture. Such things are not in the Atlas how to have fun manual.
Instead of this he has visited Javier Milei, President of Argentina.
Milei is a far right lets destroy the state and act like a dick politician who models himself on Donald Trump. And if you destroy part of the state and things are not better then more destruction is in Milei’s view obviously needed.
Argentina has been an economic cot case for decades. Milei’s solution has only made things worse. And his solution is to continue with the beatings until things improve.
Milei was the guy on stage with Elon Musk brandishing a chainsaw who himself has a penchant for chainsaws as you can see in the above picture. This Mehdi Hassan Al Jazeera video provides a good background.
In his social media post Seymour noted with approval that Milei’s Government has halved its number of departments, cut spending by 30 per cent, is posting the first fiscal surpluses in decades, and is seeing poverty down and economic growth up. He said that he was struck by Milei’s “deep economic knowledge and his humility considering his enormous achievements”.
Milei has been that “successful” that the United States had to act recently to stop a run on the peso. From the Guardian:
Milei has had some success in taming triple-digit inflation, but in recent months the 55-year-old former TV celebrity has been buffeted by a succession of crises, including corruption scandals involving his sister, and chief-of-staff, Karina Milei, and another close ally who was linked to an alleged drug trafficker, and a sell-off of Argentina’s currency, the peso.
In August, Milei was pelted with stones by angry voters and the following month his party, La Libertad Avanza, suffered a stinging defeat in the provincial election in Buenos Aires, where 40% of Argentina’s 45 million citizens live.
The US president, who is Milei’s most powerful foreign friend, has thrown him a lifeline in the form of a bailout that could total US$40bn (£30bn). But even Trump painted a dire picture of the South American country’s stagnating economy last week, telling reporters: “Argentina is fighting for its life … They are dying.”
Trump has warned he could axe the aid package if Milei fares poorly in Sunday’s vote, when half of the seats in the 257-member lower house are up for grabs as well as 24 seats in the 72-member senate. “If he doesn’t win, we’re gone,” Trump said last week while hosting Milei at the White House.
Trump’s intervention has paid dividents. His threat is credited with Milei faring better than thought in the election.
And you guessed it. Milei’s government is heavily influenced by Atlas affiliated organisations just as ACT is. And they are engaged in the usual policies, slash Government spending, support mining and ignore climate change. Read this Mountain Tui post for details.
Seymour yet again has exposed his far right Atlas aligned view of the world. All progressives at this year’s election should do their best to remove him from office.
Thanks, Micky – we also need to understand who is funding David Seymour's multiple junkets to Atlas Network contacts across the globe, and how this is affecting his judgement and loyalties.
RNZ had a stellar documentary last year looking at how ACT is potentially being influenced by foreigners – and this Argentinian trip with his fiance, tracks.
Atlas Dave has previously LandRovered up to Parliament, will 2026 see him attempting to enter Parliament wielding an ACTlas chainsaw ? IMO would be the kind of ACTion the attention seeking creep would see as perfectly acceptable.
And I agree MS and MT….much more exposure is needed of who and what is actually behind the Seymour smirk mask.
Fight Back against NACT1. Change in 2026 !
AI says of the image
Wrecker Seymour will give up his chainsaw when you pry it from his soft, sorted hands 🙁

What sort of deranged nutter meets with a head of state who insists on displaying a chainsaw on the board table?
