I recently sat down with the Leader of ACT Party, David Seymour. Before getting into politics, David worked as an electrical engineer in NZ and for private sector Think Tanks in Canada. David has served as ACT leader and MP for Epsom since 2014.
David and I spoke about his vision for New Zealand, where he sees opportunities and what he would do differently than the current government. David was candid and honest in our conversation, and raised some very interesting perspectives.
With elections around the corner, I urge you to listen to this interview and then share it with your loved ones.

Mr Seymour has no problem acknowledging his Maori lineage and I feel as though he is on the right track when speaking about Maori issues, concerning the way forward for our country and for the people of our country. I do believe in equality for all people living in New Zealand and equal rights for all New Zealanders.
Equality is essential in a democracy. Do you think the coalition will sort it?
Dave Seymour is no maori.he is an english man with English views.
Visiting this again in late Nov '23 with the 3 party coalition underway, thank God for that is all I can say. Here's to a revitalising and a realignment in our great nation.
Thanks Steve - what do you think will be the hardest challenge for the coalition?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Their dealing with Maori activists who have been given a good deal of leeway by a kowtowing apologist Labour Govt(this covers many areas of our NZ way of life) and the cleaning out of the public service and Govt agencies following the largesse and liberal woke ideologies introduced in the last few years. This is a gangrene that needs to be dealt with immediately.
An excellent interviewer - you actually let the interviewee speak without interrupting. This is almost a lost art in New Zealand. An excellent interviewee - he answered the questions fairly, humbly and honestly...... So refreshing to see common sense prevail and be expressed.
That's so kind of you, I sincerely appreciate it. Im not a big fan of talking at my guests - my job is to ask the questions and shut up. What kind of leader do you feel would be best suited to doing the right thing for NZ?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial David Seymour.
He will be delighted to hear that!!
One of the best political candidate interviews I have watching anywhere including the United States. Clear and concise answers to to good questions. David comes across knowledgeable and sincere. Share this interview with everybody you know.
Thanks Peter, that means a lot. Please hit the subscribe button and share the video with a friend who might enjoy it
While he comes across as the most concise and intelligent contender, and one who I would have, could have voted for, my worry has been the amount of fellow Act party contenders who have flown the nest. My question obviously is WHY?@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
Fair point. Do you think they can't handle the pressure of having to continually be high-performers?
I believe the divisive views held. And also David's fairly simplistic idea of cultural issues. Yes. We are all NZers but with differences and those differences need to be taken fully into consideration. The richness of diversity is what NZ is all about. I think this is a great interview and a good view of the various sides of David Seymour. @JamesLaughlinOfficial I can't see myself being in favour of his governing ideas but when he said people can do whatever they want to in life and hearing about his mother's health struggle, has been an eye-opener perhaps to his stance on things he has said publicly. Good on him for getting into politics and government. I think we need to all pray for continued wisdom for anyone governing a country, particularly our country, so we can keep hold of our hard-fought, valuable democracy and peace.@user-xb8tc3tc8t
If only mainstream media would make an effort to interview David Seymour from a netural view instead of labeling him a racist.
I hope to have him back on the show next month. Do you have a question you’d like me to ask him?
A very good informative interview.. well done James Laughlin for giving a platform for the opposition to have their say. We look forward to a complete change in direction after Oct. Once we were a strong wealthy country with proud industrious hard working people - we can be that again. We will put an end to woke Labour with their mismanagement of the country's wealth, their racially divisive policies and their governing for minority groups only. The majority of NZ will have their say in Oct.
Thanks for your very kind feedback on the interview Valerie. Interestingly, I have extended an invitation to Chris Hopkins but am yet to have any response. you might enjoy the last few interviews I did earlier this month with Chris Luxon and Raf Manji. If the right leader gets in, how long do you think it will be before we can get back to when things were humming?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial With strong economic policies in place, the country open and working, business believing their is a future to invest in and grow their businesses - our farming and agricultural community given incentives to expand and produce more ..in fact reward the workers well in all sectors of the workforce so the message to "get off your butt and do something" becomes contagious - the ripple effect of a bit of positive thinking and positive policies, given the feeling to be successful is a right and not a criminal offence...well paying jobs and a few good months pay in the pocket will turn things around very quickly. Opening up the country from top to bottom with top quality roads will be a great start... offering plenty of work and allowing the country to be open for tourism again. Put an end to extreme woke mismanagement of the country's wealth, an end to dividing the country with racial policies and governing for all peoples instead of the current situation with Labour governing for activist and extremist groups only. . We've turned the country around before within 6 months..after a previous Labour government (Clarke) with her destruction and mismanagement blow out...which saw our entire military stripped and air force gone... Key turned the country around very quickly ...we can do it again.
@@valeriehughes1008 Good stuff Valerie !!
instead we will have financially devisive policies governing for the minority Landlord class only
Mz Valerie if ACT was really the answer why does the US have homeless people poor people out of control gun crime and a deliberate attempt to kill women having there children wouldnt they have $300 miilion rich folk??????
all of you please dont comment on WOKE unless you are in one of the groups being targeted you have no idea what we are talking about
are you from the 1960's? the last thing we need is more cows producing stuff we cant sell except on the cheap to China all the while clocking up more environmental disaster and very soon your mate Luxoid will have to choose between money and democracy when they try to invade Taiwan @@valeriehughes1008
Good interview, I hope David does well in the election.
Thanks for your positive feedback. What do you think David would bring to the country if he was the leader?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial I think we would promote and incentivise business and wealth which will play a big role in getting the country back on track.
I have to agree with you. We need to reward excellence, drive and innovation. I feel that we are sometimes rewarding mere participation. That won't get us where we need to, right?@@teamatheavenscent1863
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial agree, reward those that work hard and cut wasteful spending, tougher consequences for crime. A left wing wealth and inheritance tax will only disincentivise those that work hard and generate wealth.
Why on earth do people see a problem with this way of thinking? Hard work should be rewarded, plain and simple.
Seymore a man with the guts to say “ No “ to the woke movement, with a vision for Nz, and answers.
He's very clear on what the future needs to look like. Do you think that him and another leader could work together to make NZ great again?
I am sure ACT will keep National honest
David and his party want less Government and less tax. Better services. Boy do we need ACT!
Woke up to the treaty fraud
"Honour the treaty"
@@JamesLaughlinOfficialSeymour and Winston Peters would make a great government for all New Zealanders. No need for ever-shifting leftwards National.
Winston is a snake that sold the country out for his 5min of being a PM. Winston first...always.
It has been a very long time since I have heard such common sense approaches not only spoken about but actually enacted by a politician. I sincerely hope ACT gets the support it deserves in this coming election. NZ is in dire need of common sense leadership, rather than the "we know what's good for you better than you ever could" arrogance directing the current govt's policies.
Thanks for sharing that, if you want more common sense insights from the worlds top leaders and athletes, please hit the subscribe button.
Do you think ACT can get in this time around?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial I no longer live in NZ, so TBH it's a hard call to know if ACT has the support it deserves. I come from a strong Labour background and most folks still think it's post-pandemic backlash that's keeping Labour low in the polls, as opposed to the obvious failures of the current govt to address the very serious housing and cost of living issues, while actively promoting divisive concepts that for the large majority of people are incidental, namely race and "equity".
Please return to NZ! We need more informed, thoughtful and diligent voters like you.@@XXXX-yc6wv
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial the person speaking common sense the most these days is Liz Gunn.
Why do you think that?@@marcomonti4231
Heaven sent, special. Thank you.
Thanks Pete. What did you enjoy most about the interview?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial G'day James, "What did you enjoy most about the interview?" The relaxed demeanour of a politician with a vision, common sense and integrity.
Fantastic .hope that he is a good sized part of the new govt
I'd say he will be. Who do you think will be the best leader for nZ?
Great interview, refreshing for NZ politics.
Thanks so much. I sincerely appreciate it. What was it that you liked about the interview?
David Seymour shows his best side in these long format interviews. It's a shame MSM don't give him and other politicians more time to speak rather than talking over them and trying to point score.
Anakei, I can't stand when interviewers have a point to prove. It's embarrassing to watch. My sole role is to ask the best question I can, then shut up.

U ARE A SMALL MINDED LITTLE PERSON ARENT YOU
Refreshing to be able to watch an interview conducted in whereby the participants have respect for each other and the interviewer allows questions to be answered instead of the usual overtalking and 'journalists' trying to show how smart they are as we see in the MSM. Top tip, you are not smart if you need to read off a script.
I really enjoyed the civility of the questions and answers. The interviewer did a sterling job!.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the interview
Great interview with David, I would like to see David Seymore and ACT succeed in the next election. They have had me sold on most of their policies and style of leadership so will get my vote. Managing NZ back to a vibrant country enabling people to feel they are valued and can make a wage and raise a family while living in a healthy safe society is no small feat but it's what we want as NZer's
Time will tell what happens on election day. Do you think has done enough to get in?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial I really feel his policies could have more exposure I searched them out so understand who I'm voting for, others may not, David should pick a point of difference between ACT and other parties and talk about it more. Some are saying labour and Nats are Vanilla both the same So, ACTs chance to attract more votes.
I agree! Do you think they can do it in time?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial yes if they have a concentrated effort on putting policies out there, they have time.
Time will tell. Will you be voting this year?@@andreatodd3095
Great interview. I really feel that NZ can only prosper if we unite and move forward as one people. David and his Party get my vote.
Thanks for your kind comment Mel. Your support means a lot. Do you think david will get enough support?
im always amazed the good channels have very little views or subscribers ,just found your channel today and immediately had a look through some of your previous content as its more and more rare to find interviewers who want to have a conversation instead of a argument or who listen more than they talk absolutely love your style glad you settled here in nz.
Wow, thank you! That means A LOT. Im not a fan of being controversial and trying to catch my guests off guard.

Glad you enjoyed it!
It's getting ambiguous, David Seymour has intelligent answers to any question given to him this is the sign of a learned individual and scholar, and a very competent leader for New Zealand...
I've sat with a number of politicians recently, and I was impressed with David on many levels. I also recently interviewed Christopher Luxon - you might enjoy it...ruclips.net/video/UAgr-EEWW_w/видео.htmlsi=7V9Ip4U91-f6qKIR
Good on ya James. While I appreciate David's excellent care of duty to answer questions sincerely and intelligently. Zero current Nz politician compares. Good luck ACT party. Thanks mate.
Thanks Floyd. Will they take action??? Time will tell, that's for sure. David was very open in our interview. Who do you think might be his biggest opposition for leader?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Yeah it's a lolly scramble. Winston and Wellington mayor Andy Foster were the only politicians that talked at the Wellington occupation 13th February 2022. Every other party signed a joint statement saying they wouldn't talk to the occupiers because it was an illegal? protest. Speaker of the house trevor mallard turned sprinklers and direct energy weapons on the occupation has slimed his way off to Ireland. The media only pushes for red or blue. Nz Loyal with ACT ?
I agree, ACT / Seymour are underrated as in the comment below, an excellent interview. Brilliant "the reason you have goals like that is you often you don't achieve them" - at least you try!
100%. After sitting down with David it makes me real sit up and take notice of the mahi he’s doing. Who do you think will be the leader to take us forward into the future?
One day (and I hope and pray very very soon) New Zealand will be led by a leader who truly loves this once great nation. David Seymour is that person. Even so many of my labour friends are absolutely in shock at the utter lie after lie dished out by the current government. There has to be change at the helm.
But what can we do as kiwis to hold our govts to account?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial For starters we need neutral unbiased media. We need the likes of james seymour pm held to account on matters such as falsifying his degree from Victoria university. This is a criminal offense.
I think you mean James Shaw - yes i totally agree with you@@prabhakarrao4922
What?! I need to look that up. He seriously did that?
@@prabhakarrao4922 Let's be really clear...the idiot Greens co-leader is James Shaw. He should never be confused with the most competent and capable MP in this country.
Well done David. Thank you James. Earned my vote. Maybe both. Excellent.
You’re most welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed the interview. What inspires you to possibly want to vote for David?
An awesome interview thank you.

What do you think NZ needs in the next leader?

Great interview ❤
Thanks so much. What made you enjoy it?
Wonderfully intelligent .. he makes sense.. he talks with honesty humility.. & with integrity…
just what NZ needs!

I was rather impressed with him tbh
Who else might be a good alternative?
INTYELLIGENT NO JUST IS APPEALING TO YOUR RACIST NATURE ...WOT QUALIFICATION DOES THIS IDOT HAVE IN LAW ...NONE!!
Hi Marama, what makes you feel that Deb has a racist nature?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficialThat’s ok .. she has the right to her opinion but coming from Maori ancestry I can reassure her I am not racist . All New Zealanders should be treated equally regardless of race 🌈
That's how I hear David portraying it too.@@debh7386
Great interview. David's the leader to help restore respect and dignity to the silly, wacky violent and rude environment that nz is spiralling into.
Thanks Joseph, it was nice to sit in the Beehive with David and talk about the reality of life and the state of new zealand. What do you believe his leadership will do to make a difference?
I think David Seymour knows what a woman is.... that's a good start. Secondly, he has his feet grounded in reality and fact. Hopefully, he will balance the World Economic Forum inspired National Party, after the World Economic Forum possessed Labour Party is evicted. He will promote policies which reward hard work, social and economic participation and personal responsibility. He will promote 'one country, one people' and 'one person, one vote'. He will continue to show Te Pati Maori up for what they are, and Labour, and the Greens, and probably National too to some extent.
Firstly, what do you mean by "I think David Seymour knows what a woman is"? Do you feel that him and Chris Luxon would make a good team to lead NZ? @@cpnurseries
Hello James - Thanks for the question. It seems to me that David is stepping away from the old hierachical model of leadership to a way of leading where he first listens to and then gives voice to what citizens are saying is important for them.
He then facilitates the formulation of these thoughts and ideas into policies that reflect the preferred values of the citizenry. He seems to have a style of leading from behind that ensures that the voice and values of the people he represents are given high priority.
Did you see crime Victoria is high with youth!
One of the best D.S interviews I've seen after a recent binge, thank you. Subscribed
That means a lot, and I HUGELY appreciate the subscribe.
David Seymour is so underrated! Hes more kiwi then all other leaders
He's a great leader for sure. what is it about him that you like?
U MEAN HE WANTS TO KEEP THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE WHITE MANS HANDS IS WHAT HE FKN SAYING ..WHWICH IS COMPLETELY A BREACH OF THE TREATY A PEACE TREATY ...BUT DAVID THINKS WERE AT WAR WOT A FREAK THAT IS DIVISIVE THAT KIND OF LIES AND BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THAT VERY PEACE TREATY WHICH DAVID IS NO HISTORIAN WHAT FKN PHD OR EXPERTISE DOES DAVID HAVE ON TREATY MATTERS ??? dOES HE HAVE ANY FORMAL DEGREE IN THE TREATY LEGISLATION OR IS HE JUST DRUMMING UP HIS SUSPORTERS BY LYING AND USING PROPAGANDA JUST LIKE JACINDA DID WITH THE JABBY JAB BIO WEAPON !!
His intelligence and humility- and I can’t help myself, I also love his wit.
Wow he pushed aborting fully grown 9 mth old babies that's not intelligence that's about as kiwi as the ccp
David, let's hope you are a key force in NZ Govt.
Thanks Simon, what makes you feel confident that David would be a good leader for Nz?
Such a reasonable interview. Extremely sensible views from Seymour to get success from as many people as possible, win win for as many as can be achieved as possible instead of destroying one group to benefit another group. It gives a great feeling that ACT's policies are not to harm but to make us overall, a greater more successful country. Egalitarianism he said, we used to have and lost, something he strives for and we should.
Thanks Steve, the question is, do you think he has what it takes to lead the country?
From a one MP man couple of years ago to possibly 10 or so now pulled along with him, we all would say he's doing very well indeed. He always said he's more honest and doing better than the other Maori Winston, and God forbid, not to be confused with him!🤣
What do you think would be difference for NZ between Winston leading or David leading?
Don't HOPE ...........just VOTE, for ACT and David Seymour. Our last hope to get this country back on its feet. With a leader of fine quality, positive clear thinking, well considered solutions and integrity. GO ACT.
@JamesLaughlinOfficial Winston David 16% ers Bob tails of the dog,located at the terminal end of colon dog would have to walk backward for them to lead
The only man in New Zealand politics with integrity and honesty, and not afraid to say what the population thinks
Thanks John. David has received a LOT support on this video. Please share it with a friend.
Do you think that he might be able to partner up with another party?
David is the man 👍
The feedback on his interview has certainly been largely very positive. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds next month
Well said Mr Seymour
His video has received a ton of support. I wonder will that translate on election day???
This man needs to be our next Prime Minister
I’ll be sure to let him know. What is it that you admire most about him?
Cheers James. NZ's now a cesspool since Labour were put into power by Winston in '17, will we ever recover from not only the financial destruction but also the societal devastation which is just horrendous. Can't believe it's the country I grew up in, not recognisable now.
Thanks Steve, and I'm sorry that you've had to bear witness to such a dramatic change in NZ. What do you think David would bring to the table in terms of leadership to change the future of our country?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Yes well what would/should any leader bring to the table in future. I'll be 70 next month so have experienced the best and recently the worst in this country of ours, which has seen us in the past being a champion and leading democratic law abiding nation with equality of opportunity and freedom of speech for all its citizens. The new leader would need to take us back to those principles, we're only 5 million people(not growing at all) and it can be done with commonsense unbiased governance. Can that happen, I hope and pray that's the case, it'll be a long road though given the division and stupidity in our society(and the western world) now. So let's roll our sleeves up and get working away at it, nothing good happens by sitting on the sidelines hoping for change, we've got to make that happen ourselves. All the best to you and yours and God bless.
Winston kept the halter on labour whilst in power with them when he left after the following election labour ran amuck with racist policies and dictatorship mandates , and I am not talking about covid restrictions ? you are correct though New Zealand has and is falling apart under labour, they need to go and take the maori and green party with them
You are so spot on Steve. More action based on care for the people of NZ. There's been too much talk for too long. Who has been the best leader for NZ in your 70 years of life? And have a great celebration next month!!!@@stevehughes1510
If they took the Maori party and Greens with them, what do you think would be achievable?@@nukerzerothefirst3417
Best interview Ive ever watched. James Laughlin is excellent and brought out the best from David. Go ACT
Wow, that's a HUGE compliment and I sincerely appreciate. Chris Hipkins and his team didn't even respond to the opportunity to be interviewed...
How do you think David might be able to turn things around for NZ?
I see a good side to you David, put more of this (kupu) meaning out there.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I always try to get to the heart of people when I’m interviewing - no point staying surface level right? Which party will be the best for NZ?
Yes you need to get rid of some bureaucracy.
Totally, how do you think we can go about that?
You look at bureaucracy that holds people back from being able to survive, being able to be DIY again, without breaking some rule.
Fair point, but where can we begin with that?
What a refreshing interviewer 23:49
Owen, thanks so much. That means a lot. What did you enjoy about the interview style?
Thanks, David Both ticks yellow!!
Thanks Cammy.
So good to hear some common sense for once and clear insight into the underlying major issues in this wonderful country.
David was great to interview. Thanks for the support
The fact we have a party called “Te Pati Māori” is racist.
What makes you say that?
Te non_maori party maybe?
This is an interesting view, not one I agree with. Maori are entitled to representation that promotes their interests. There is no restriction based on race regarding who can be a member of their party or vote for them. It is no different from ACT promoting policies aimed at attracting the votes of the wealthy, labour promoting policies aimed at workers, or the greens promoting policies for the environment; it is simply a political sector that wants to promote a particular political view. If you disagree with their perspective, don't vote for them.
What would happen if we started a For Whites party? It would be immediately condemned as a racist party, yet no one is complaining we have a party that is for just one race..... Maori
Great interview
Thanks, please hit subscribe. Do you think David can lead us to a brighter future?
An inspirational interview.
Thanks John. What did you enjoy most?
Hearing him talk of tenant/landlord and employee/employer as symbiotic relationships is a key mindset difference to the poltics of opposition. Win-Win all the way.
David made some very interesting points!
Rockstar intro David well done fortunately I think the majority like common sense, there will always be haters who want disaster and chaos.
That's true - when there's chaos, it gives the miniscularians more to bicker about!!
Who do you believe is the next leader for nZ?
We definitely need MORE common sense - sadly lacking in todays society ! David is so well spoken and logical. Great Interviewer as well !
Mary, thanks so much - that means a lot. I love interviewing, and it really means a lot to get your feedback.
Common sense isn't always common practice, you are spot on.
Who will be the best political party for NZ moving forward?
Roll on October 14th 😊
Absolutely! Any predictions?
A good party at the Backbencher's PlaTform Party...perhaps 🥳
See you there lol
Vote ACT, Drain that SWAMP.
David will be glad to hear you're voting for him. What do you think ACT will do to make such a difference to NZ?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Get rid of the devisive racist govt that is in power at the moment for starters.

Go David, the only leader to tell it like it is, the only leader to say out loud what a lot of us are thinking, you have my vote
He should have been a part of the Chris and Chris debate last night, right!?
Yet again another great interview ( Sam here that meet you in Sumner James ) . Keep up the great work.
Thanks a million Sam. It was nice to bump into you at Sumner - what a small world. What was your personal takeaway from this episode?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial - there wasn't 1 particular point. To me why hes worth listening to hes because hes a "groomsman" at a wedding - the wedding is that more than likely either National and Labour (Groom and Bride) as the main governing political party , where as ACT (David) can stand back and analyse then make judgement - a lucky position to be in Politics I'd say. He listens then speaks rather than the other way around which can be a rare quality in Politicians ;).
He marked out a period of 15 years. They were part of these government from time to time.
Id like some questions about the WEF agenda in NZ.
They need to GO! Controlling countries from Europe.
you're not the first person to comment that Gary. What specific questions would you like me to ask David when I next sit down with him?
Thanks for your comment Margaret. Who's the party that we most need to take our country in the right direction?
This subject about the WEF treaty and a certain liquid intervention concerning the 'deadly killer virus' over the past 3 years are to be avoided at all costs for all parliament members in NZ ...let's talk about anything but that 😊
A statesman, a whole level above the slippery salesmen seeking to keep him out. Well done and the reward will be 20% share of the seats in Parliament.
Thanks Owen, what do you appreciate most about David?
The goody/baddy thing is straight out of the Marxist play book.
Hi Kevin, thanks for sharing that. What makes you feel it's from the Marxist way of thinking?

Honesty Luxons too slippery Imo.@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
A miracle 🙌
David is smart enough to know not to talk over the other speaker.opposite to how he was treated at Waitangi.
I interviewed David again last week (interview will be published in a few weeks) and I have to say that I agree with you - he’s incredibly smart. What do you enjoy most about his approach to leadership?
I believe David would make a great Prime Minister, He is well educated and smarter than the other Party Leaders and I don't believe he is racist or creates racism like the Maori Party co leader seems to think, the man has maori in him what the hell is she talking about. Good Luck at the Election Act
Thanks for sharing your insights.Do you think David could work in collaboration with another leader?
My dad and mum can to NZ in 1950 both as single people. They only had a suitcase. Dad's job as a carpenter was interrupted the 1951 water front strike ( National Gov not listening) from that point his job as a chamber hand at Westfield. Owned by rich person and only by Union did got more pay. Mum worked for Social Security, then worked doing housework to get money. Then at jean factory. They paid off the house in 13 years, in 1967. Compare this to NZ now since 2000 and beyond.
Thanks for sharing that, your parents sounds like incredible people who worked hard and supported this country.
Do you think we can turn things around with a change in leadership?
what's the alternative .what's your answer or solutions .Socialism ? Communism ? ( not necessarily bad things in my opinion) personally I'd like to see Compassionate Capitalism ? why all the questions and no answers from your self ?
The controllers play the long game!
@@cbstanfo8314 While your critique is astute, he (she?) lives in the past. Ad doesn't have a developed programme, just feelings. It's the internet, so we just have to go along with some irritations.
Without doubt the best interview I have seen during the lead up to our election. Thank you David for having the gumption to speak about things that have for so long been almost Taboo in our country. The division of our country based on race must be put to bed for good as it has only caused angst, I share your vision of having a prosperous country once more and it's people thriving in an equal society. Thank you again for your integrity and honesty.
Im so glad you enjoyed the interview. Do you think ACT can get in?
I'm not putting too much emphasis on the polls as they seem to fluctuate., but yes most definitely I do! He is the most logical and 'upfront' politician out there without doubt.
The polls are a bad guess at best. If you could ask David one question before voting, what would it be?
the Kiwi " can do " attitude is disappearing under a barrage of red tape !!
But can the govt help or hinder us??
Now that there is the Maori party, does that mean the Maori seats can finally be done away with?
What's your stance on that?
Wishful thinking for who?

People could look at Norsewood Dairy Farm Manawatu by Russell Head. This farm milks once a day, has better grass growth uses less fertilizer has reduced cost and maintained out put.
Do you think that approach could be replicated nationwide?

It is disappointing that only 1 party has a disability strategy that is properly articulated, (which is the Greens). As a family with a disabled family member, we talk a good story as a country, but there is little meaningful action or practical help. It's OK if you have ACC support. It's dire if you don't. Despite the wee disability signs, it is an unfriendly environment for people who need mobility assistance.
Thanks for bringing this up - and it's not good enough here in New Zealand for disabled people to suffer like this. Do you think the Greens can right it?
`We need to make the government more accountable. We need to make Corporates more accountable .. Cooperative /compassionate capitalism can help the people more than we think
You are 100% on the money. How can we most powerfully hold corporates to more account?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial By people power.. Western society and culture has changed. The individual has been made a icon of our social fabric..we worship at the altar of "I""
Collectively we have a resource that has power. At the moment we have Sheeple .Coerced and manipulated easily by cooperates, and the Government. What's the point of having a system where the Government makes a law, and the opposition that argues against it ,when at the end of the day, because of the numbers ..the law will be passed .. Why do we have a bank that the Government uses, of taxpayers money, make exuberant profits ,that go overseas. Negotiating, with banks for the best deal for taxpayers is a answer Pressurising banks to reduce charges, credit card interest etc ...Corporates should be made to account for their dealings and operations ..ie because of the huge problems we have with alcohol in our society, why do we allow supermarkets to sell it ...the Supermarkets wont to sell it to make for sales ..thats why alcohol is placed at the of last point of the supermarket floor , they understand people, they know people will buy other things on the way to the booze. Corporate's introduced plastic packaging to increase profits Consumers did not beg them too... now we have a mass environmental problem of waste in rivers and in the ocean, they should contribute money to help clean it up. People collectively do have power. leaders need to lead and make decisions with wisdom and consultation with wise people. i remember my grandfather saying years ago the introduction of plastic packaging is going to affect our environment. How right he was .i do have solutions that will things better for society but because our focus of "I'ism nothing will change
Are there any countries doing it better than us?
yes the same country That all politicians in the western world , including NZ politician's like David Seymour, and all politician's in NZ in the electoral race ...and maybe I'm there with them its called Utopia @@JamesLaughlinOfficial
haha, and what happens if we end up with a dystopia?
Maori seats and consulting has to stop, who made this a country, NOT the maoris.
What's the potential consequence to NZ if it doesn't change?
A two tier people, maori,the rest.

Bernie, I appreciate you sharing that. I think David has courage and is truly thinking about the greater good, right?
Third world people are coming here and riding off the backs of the settlers,they need to be taught this is now their home and to adapt to us, NOT impose their background here, such as muslims want eid recognised,, MUST speak English, We need rid of the multi lingual comms I see on some government depts.Speaking English shows a commitment @@JamesLaughlinOfficial
I'd say there are a lot of humans from all over the planet immigrating to New Zealand for opportunities and to provide for their loved ones... just like you and I want to do for the people we care about. The more we can embrace them and their culture, the better. No? However, I do agree that being able to speak English would be a HUGE advantage for new immigrants to feel a deeper sense of belonging.

David will be DELIGHTED to hear that. What makes you appreciate him as a politician?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial he doesn't flip flop on policy, Act out time into creating policies that make sense. He stands for true equality, he understands that statistical discrepancy doesn't necessarily mean discrimination. Act are pro being tough on criminals
I moved to NZ about 19 years ago and it felt A LOT different then than it does now. I see and feel the crime increasing for sure. Is it the same in your neck of the woods?
I think Chris Luxon also had a great approach to justice.
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial I am from Wellington but I live in London. There seems to be a crime phenomenon happening in Western countries, particularly around shop lifting which shows a breakdown in community IMO. Until now, society has been based on trust and the understanding that the police will sort it out if needs be. Those things are now being tested and I would say identity politics is playing a big part
Yep you make sense David..but opposition doesn't like common sense.
Common sense isn’t always common practice, right?
Why are the comments section on this video filled with such truth and common sense , when the country is going in such a delusional woke direction . May reality reign in New Zealand once and for all
Jamie, I LOVE the insights and comments on this interview. I have learned so much about people and the needs of the nation. Thanks for checking out the video. Who do you think will be the best PM for NZ?
Our next Prime Minister!
What do you feel are the traits and actions that would make David a great new PM?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial honesty, level-headedness, pragmatic.

Would’ve of loved to delve into why New Zealanders aren’t using public transport more frequently and see if it makes sense to build more roads when there is plenty of roads being built already in my personal opinion what New Zealanders need is a more sustainable frequent public transport network system that is both faster and more economical to use because we already know that New Zealand roads are way to congested by using more buses trains ferries and making the public transport system of New Zealand a priority is the way forward and the reality is if we keep on using more cars the more congested the roads are going to be if you do happen to interview David Seymour again I’m wondering if you could see his take on public transportation and see if it is still ethical to use cars as way of getting from A TO B because being a public transport user I can see the benefits of using public transport rather than a privately owned family car I was in London last year and I could see how frequently the London Underground was being used and why can’t New Zealand be the same moving forward into the future!!??….

Mister Seymour has done a great service to Tangata Whenua his Euro centric betrayals of Tangata Whenua, (who by the way are the oldest thriving culture on the planet 🤣🤣🤣.) and our Maori whanau are pure political grandstanding to his identified by polling base.

Thanks Mr Fleet. Do you think the current government will be able to steer us in a positive direction?

@@RuakituriThanks. And it’s James, not Jimmy.
@@Ruakituri first off, did you live through the troubles in Northern Ireland ? Let’s start with that and then we can continue from there
I get partly David Seymour about making it fair or equal on health not on discriminating on race that everyone has equal like Maori has a first priority getting health treatment first yes i actually never experience being put first i'm Maori and i do understand some races culture are different and if i remember many Maoris shy away from the medical world they are not forward going to get medical treatment the statistics of Maoris die earlier in life and that's the science of that race even without bring up the medical side the breed like we know certain breed of animals live to a certain age and it's not because they didn't get medical help it's just DNA whether the new government like or not that's the reason why this health legislation was brought in to prioritising Maoris which i understand why the last government did that you would probable find Maori didn't even use up the funding the tax payer money as they have always shy away from medical treatment they mainly go for organic authentic natural holistic medicine.
Nz is too focused looking to the inside.
Nz should be focused on the outside.
Pioneers. He's right
I have to 💯 agree with you. Too many kiwi leaders and businesses are focused on their little territory or region. A global focus is what’s needed for long term survival.
What’s the risk of being inwardly focused?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial inwardly focused. We have an imbalance of how many businesses chasing the same market, money going round in circles. Nothing is moving forward. Our govt needs to invest in new businesses that want to challenge innovation challenge the international market, challenge countries in areas we could excel in. Good example is to invest in movies, video, or something to with the arts. Just an example. Build our own South Pacific Hollywood.
What a breath of fresh air punching through the thick clouds of mediocracy.

...oy vey
no responses to other peoples comments????
Seems likeable enough but couldn't disagree more re: economics. The way you incentivise ingenuity and hard work is to remove/drastically reduce tax on labour and instead tax unearned income (rent, asset inflation etc ie. Money earned whilst asleep). Tax the idle rich.
That's a great way to look at it - the 'idle rich' is a term I haven't heard of. Where can we start to make progress on that?
Doesn't that make the idle rich take their money elsewhere? If they do....where does this money come from then?
Does Act ! Like the UK support the idea of importing labour ( people) to fill gaps in the employment market when this may create a short of medical staff and educators etc in countries these people come from?
Bloody good question. What do you think?
Why not our Aussie cuzzies have no qualms in enticing kiwis over ze ditch! 🤷♂️

NZ needs a complete reset.
What does a complete reset look like from your perspective?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Reset. From my perspective reset is a deliberate act of putting off all previous concept and action for the sake of accurate review of every possible thing. This is functional, spiritual, conceptual and a profound “taking stock” of what is working and what is not. NZ does not need “business as usual”. Over time practices, priorities, agendas grow into entrenched behaviour. Entrenched ways of doing things. Things past treasured become lost. Things of little value become habits. Reset puts a lot on hold. Asks a lot of questions. Looks into what we are really wanting to achieve and look like. Reset can look failures in the face. Reset can take joy in new direction. Following Covid 19 there was a lot of talk about reset. But all that we saw in Australia was a bombardment of agendas, half-truths, narratives that divide. It was not a reset. It was a mess. An opportunity for a journey without a rudder.
Thanks for sharing that Steve. So do you think David and ACT could make it happen?
And boy are we gonna get one!🥴
I really hope so. If we don't get a reset, what does the future look like for our kids???
He said that ACT will buy fighter jets and upgrade our military which I think is a really good thing.
Our defense here in New Zealand is very limited in terms of warfare. What's the chance of us being attacked by air or sea?
Cos war is the answer right?
David re farming looking after the environment yes many do, I do recall national lowering the acceptable quality of our rivers to help farming, that is totally contradictory of helping the environment the line was crossed putting profit first and foremost there is a need to protect our environment for ALL to enjoy
Planet and people need to come first. If we don't have a planet to live on - then the people will perish. I understand that profit (economics) is vital, but it can't be the number 1 driver, right? What do you think would be the best government to take our country forward?
@@riverofstars8567 no not a greeny I do not hug trees I own a few chainsaws , but have seen a decline in our rivers and that is not all down to farming ,

He talks about pensions. Labour set a new path in 1972. But National changed things in 1975. Then from 1975 to 1984 pay as you happened. Then when labour came the introduced the surcharge. An easy means test. Then National changed things but still pay as you go. The when Helen Clark became prime minister saving through Kiwisaver and Super fund happened again.
A clear difference between parties.
Good point Robert. What do you think is actually the best approach for New Zealanders?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial full fund super fund ( John Key and National did not fullfund it as cut spending) . Kiwi saver should be complusory like was originall.
If you look at old videos of the election in 1975 about this issue and see how national and act want borrow from such funds.
So you're saying that national and ACT want to take from Kiwisaver? where is this documented?@@roberthooker4970

Yessir!
New Zealand needs to return to God. We need leaders with biblical values to lead this country on the road of God's delight. Our national anthem is "God defend New Zealand", Please reflect on whether our country still regards Jehovah as God.
Thanks for your insights. If that was the route a leader took - do you think it’s possible to be inclusive of everyone whether they believe in god or not?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Thank you for your response.
Yes, I think so. Cause there is no one who does not need the blessing from God.
If our leaders fear God, they will propose and formulate biblical policies.
Our national anthem is "GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND", Then at least MOST people believe in God.
Which political party can make everyone vote for them?

More than happy to be proven wrong though 😌
And yet he barely lifted a finger when Labour stamped all over the Bill of Rights in the pandemic
So the question is Greg, will you trust him enough to vote for him?
Super fund and the pension. This is a social contract. Roger Douglas stated this correctly. Labour in 1973 made hard call then and created a savings scheme. But National (..Act) removed the pay/save as you go. When Labour became government again they started super fund and kiwi saver. This has been reduced by progressive governments in a number of ways. This Epsom MP does not talk about this. Why? He is prepared to break a social contract.
So what do you think he should do about it? Everything rises and falls on leadership, right?
