Winston Peters on NZ First's election chances & the Roy Morgan poll

[@NotSoAlarmed]

I'm glad I was a child of the 70s - 80s. At least I got to be a child without the adult preoccupation with all things sexual taking away my innocence. The pushing of sexual material is robbing children of their childhood. Sure, some kids mature earlier than others but that shouldn't be a license to fast track all kids out of childhood. Parents MUST be involved! That's what I object to and that some of these activists behave awfully like groomers. I will never forget those perverts marching in New York chanting "we're here, we're queer and we're coming for your children." It simply confirmed there are sickos in this world and children, their childhood, need protecting.

when the Turkish Prime Minister said he was going to put our children in the ground next to our grandparents, it was Winston Peters that got on a plane and went to Turkey and by the end of that conversation, Turkey reaffirmed the friendship we ended up with after the war.. Labour couldn't do that, ACT couldn't do that, National couldn't do that, they don't have the diplomacy or the chops. That diplomacy is an example of a different kind of class of politician. If people are not voting Winston, they don't truly understand politics.
