  Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand People: Nandor Tanczos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Nandor recalls the restrictive atmosphere of Hungarian cities - and the fl-market that lubricated the wheels of the communist economy.

Nandor is someone who represents their voice in Parliament, someone who asks the questions they want asked, someone who makes sense of the statement that 'everything you do is political'.

 Rampant bureaucracy threatens to suffocate New Zealand hemp
NEW ZEALAND — Green MP Nandor Tanczos declared today that Medsafe had no business in New Zealand’s hemp industry and that their proposed regulations threatened to suffocate a promising business opportunity for New Zealand farmers.
Nandor, whose industrial hemp private member’s bill was dropped by the Primary Production select committee in August last year, said Medsafe’s threat to the hemp industry was a case of rampant bureaucracy that would have been averted if his bill was allowed to proceed.
Nandor said that the problem arose because the Government had sacrificed a Green initiative to promote the hemp industry in order to take the credit itself.

 A Servant's Thoughts: Nandor Tanczos for Prime Minister
I propose a course of action (taking a leaf from the book of Thailand) where the military steps in, takes control and declares martial law removing the chance for Labour or National to govern our country with their petty gutter politics and enstates Nandor Tanczos as Prime Minister.
Because he's the only politician I have seen openly declare our governing system to be exactly what it is, a morally bankrupt, corrupt, evil system.
Nandor just doesnt cut the mustard for me. I don't think that some one who smokes dope would be able to get that much credibility on the world stage to promote NZ's causes yet alone get the world to unite to fight world poverty or other serious problems that we have.
