Decentralisation for New Zealand

Definitions used on this website are to ensure that when we are having a conversation we all understand what the meanings are (as some definitions traditionally understood have been usurped or changed to deliberately confuse or stop conversation completely we have taken the time to explain these words with as simple language as possible).

Kiwi Citizens; First part, any person who is born in NZ or any Kiwi who is born in the wrong place who moves to NZ to become a citizen, the Second part of a Kiwi Citizen is anyone who desires to integrate into the pre-existing mono-culture of New Zealand, this doesn’t mean we don’t update things as needed it just means we don’t let foreign powers tell us who or what we are through their culture; we speak one common language, we believe that we are all equal and wish to make New Zealand a more resilient place; where our economy is strong and we have the authority over New Zealand and ourselves.

Permanent Resident; Someone who is on their path to becoming a Kiwi Citizen, they have the right to work and stay in New Zealand for a set period of time this will be voted on by the people of New Zealand once the Federal constitution has been voted on, everyone else is a guest.

Village; the smallest form of government, it is a shire, borough, suburb any local area that is made up of 10 to 250 people, they each vote a leader to represent them.

Region; is a collection of Villages, these villages have a leader which has been voted on by the villages, they then vote a federal representative for the federal parliament, each Region can consolidate or divide based on a referendum, the average size is between 10,000 and 100,000 people, this can also be dependent on geographical locations.

Confederation; New Zealand will be governed under a federal system with a constitution and have three levels: the Confederation, the Regions and the Villages. Thanks to direct democracy, citizens can have their say directly on decisions at all political levels.

Right of Recall; this is the authority held by the people to remove someone elected to office who is not performing the task appropriately/poorly or has not performed their election promises, this is performed by Binding partition, obtaining signatures from 50% of the voting public is the norm.

Binding Petition; A collection of signatures from the public demanding an action or change.

Veto; In the Decentralised model a veto is when the people collect at a local level, a petition with signatures from 50% of the voting population, at the federal level it is 100,000 votes.

Constitutional Referendum; A vote on the Federal constitution by the people.

Legal Referendum; A vote on the Federal laws by the people.

Economy; A financial circle where money or currency of any type circulate from one person/s or entity to another to improve everybody lives within this circle.

Velocity of money; The speed of the money moving around the economy circle.

Now that we have the parts of the system explained, how does the whole system work:

Principles; that the Kiwi Citizens are sovereign and have total control over themselves and we all share the country with other Kiwi’s (citisens); the second is that when decisions are made as a nation of sovereign Citizens that the aim of our democracy is to form our decisions so that the minority can live with the outcome.

Decentralisation is how the Citizen works with other citizens to run the country starting at a local level, this doesn’t just mean government this also includes your economy because lets face it if you can’t pay for things it’s a little hard to govern, so lets break this down into Government first and then your Economy second.

Government; This is a chain which has a few parts and then we administrate this chain with tools:

Citizen – Village – Region – Confederation

The tools are pretty simple we the people discuss and vote on a constitution and laws that the majority agree on discussing all manor of things from languages to health care, retirement to roads and how they will be used and paid for, this document is designed to be kept simple and then it is practiced at the regional and village level, at any point the citizen can participate as little or as much as they would like depending on how the laws affect or effect them, this means that the citizen can start petitions to recall politicians, discuss laws, vote out or veto laws or have very little to do with the system, the choice is yours.

Economy; This is like a wheel and in this wheel are people and objects, the point of this wheel is to improve everyone’s lives for example a person improves their life by purchasing a house and then employ’s a building company to improve the house to improve the persons life the company then pays all the people inside it and they then improve their lives from the work they have performed, there are other examples such as barter or other currencies.

Money/Currency in – Things are built, people are fed, clothed etc. =

Money/Currency out or Money/Currency cycles around again

This process is pretty simple, people put money into the system and depending on who and where the people are in the world is trading with will depend on what happens within this economy, if companies are not from your region or country then the money/currency goes away the opposite is also true if you only trade with people within your region or country then the money/currency stay’s within the economy to go around again and again improving the peoples lives within in it, this also includes buying products from outside of your country or region if you do this too many times not only may the money not come back but many times it does come back in the form of investments into your assets which will mean that profits will now start moving offshore again or purchase more assets, this is described in a Warren Buffet cartoon called thriftville on Youtube which talks about trade deficits.
