This interview shows how analytical David is, rather than emotional. He's a professional engineer by training so this makes sense. It's an uphill battle for him as politics is largely fought at an emotional level, but he is breaking through. I hope he gets the chance to implement his ideas and prove they can lift New Zealand socially and economically. God knows we need it now.
Great interview. I actually think this shows another side to David Seymour. He’s clearly very passionate yet grounded, and comes across as someone honestly wanting to hear the other side and willing to work with people he doesn’t agree with.
Yeah, I'm enjoying his recent interviews and really respect what he says and how he's handling himself. Would be nice to see some positive debates before this election where politicians show each other respect and debate ideas without any mud slinging.
Desmond here your interview great to listen do not worry you and 18 your plus act candidates will be in Parliament you will be a great team to work with national david seymour we are going to win
This country has gone down hill so fast under Labour. From what I've seen of Christopher Luxon he seems like a good man, with a good head on his shoulders. ACT with David at the helm brings another thoughtful group into the mix. I don't like politics, I'd rather not have to pay much attention but to pull this country out of the nose dive it's in then good people need to vote for an ACT+National govt. Labour has got to go. p.s. Mana isn't found in dairies at 3am, regardless of how fast that single mother's stolen Demio reverses through those doors...
Fix those damn potholes. After that remove the idiotic speed bumps Labour introduced. Accelerate, slow down, accelerate, slow down... couldn't cause less efficient fuel use for a nation's vehicle owners if they tried (let alone the degradation of vehicles themselves over time).
It is a pity National are too spineless to stand against the tyranny of the minority (woke cult). I hope that stance changes when they're in. David showed backbone, knows what a woman is. Unless something bizarre occurs I'll vote ACT.
This is a great interview.. especially because the interviewer asks great questions and lets the answers come out without constant interruption and the new style of "gottya" journalism e.g. Tane and his smug attitude and his constant trickery... hardly journalism - just leaves one coming away very frustrated and still not informed.
Must agree. The way Tame interviews have been getting on my last nerve lately. They are more interested in making the person look foolish than actually letting them show what they stand for. It’s so arrogant & disingenuous. To think they run this scam of journalism with our money makes it even more intolerable.
@@MandySam13 So true Mandy - the scary thing is that the majority of MSM is funded by Labour and so are very bias ... they either do not report on opposition policies or do their best to make the opposition look stupid ... and they spin Labour propaganda. They are doing their best to help Labour win the elections ... as Winston says one of the first things to do is take away Government funding and ensure a free press.
Maori should NOT be treated differently. The treaty does not say we are different. We are all citizens of New Zealand. The questioner got this Wrong!! David has it got right in this area,. There is "no reason" to treat people differently
I don't understand why some parties (mainly on the left) are trying to create division between us. We are all one people. That was the point of the treaty, to ensure that all Maori were treated like everyone else under the crown. Maori should have the same rights as everyone else, no more, no less.
really good informative interview. nz desperately needs to change . The current government has created and encouraged racial divide with special privileges for Maori. Giving people advantages over others based on race has never worked in the past and won’t work in the future. NZ is a multi race country and kiwis all need to be treated as equals , with any extra assistance for individuals given based on need not race
In 1981 the average house price was 25k . In 2020 it was 615 k. The banking industry was deregulated in 1984/85. Does Act thing this contributed the increase of house prices?
During the period 2006 to 2017 unemployment was 4-5 %. During 2010 to 2013 the average was higher peaking at 7%. In 2017 the rate was 4.74% with labour force of 2.7 m. By 2022 the labour force was 2.9 m with an unemployment rate of 3.25%. So is that an improvement?
Depends on how the unemployment is calculated. They are even counting people with 1-2 hours of employment a week as “employed”, when clearly the majority of their income comes from benefits. This just gives an appearance of success when none exists. Consistent with many of the number fudging this government has done to date.
Two great people making the most sense in a time of extreme need is David Seymour and Winston Peters. Out of this political madness great people can rise up.
This is my biggest issue with Nats. I think it is only gonna be stopped if NZ First are needed to get National over the finishing line because there is no way Winnie is supporting that one.
On housing, we need to supply realistically priced land, free house plans and ability to build small cheap cottages or cabins that young people, young families can start life in .
I liked Jacinda but Labour encompasses to much incompetence or poor ethics, same for Greens - I love Chloe but is she on the wrong side ? Both parties at their core try to make a difference... just ideologies never lead to where common sense does. David Seymour can argue very sharp but common sense seems to always prevail and that is also consistent about him. Nats try hard but they lack leadership like the playground where an ex-CEO tries to take his career to the next level... then Hipkins... "in it for you" is that a joke?
Because the alphabet people have tried to take all the colours? Seems like they are adding some every day as they figure out new crazy things to 'identify' as.
Clearly you don’t understand that he was not talking about “employees” but those voted in to the positions. Commenting when you are ignorant of the topic just to accuse someone of lying is a poor reflection on you.
@@MandySam13 I reject your perspective. The fact is that Pakeha in councils hire Asian and Polynesian people over Maori people due to a deeply ingrained racism against Maori people. I know exactly what this racist person meant by his weak proportional argument but in practical and real terms - Maori are yet again the under-served demographic in councils.
Just like you attacking Labour try to do their job. I dont blame our government(Labour) . They couldnt do the job because too much interfere by the nature. You know, white island blewup, covid 19, the flood, the shooting, cabriel ect. The only party that matter to me is GREEN. I need clean air and a healthy life. Our planet slowly drifted away . Too much pollution. We human damage our planet.I dont trust National. Labour not too bad and i dont know why others put them down badly.Yes! They spend because its important. Money is there to spend why not. If Labour give, all i can hear, not enough! Not enough! Should do more. You people should learn how to accept and stop moaning.GO GREEN !!!❤❤❤❤❤.
Money is not there to spend irresponsibly. You’ll never be wealthy as a country if that’s the attitude to spending. Labour our run on an ideology which is Marxism. They don’t believe in individual autonomy just control. Greens don’t do ANYTHING for the environment. They are too busy promoting radical gender ideology. I feel sorry for people like you who can’t see through these utter frauds. The Greens when Janette Fitzsimmons & Rod Donald ran it is not the Greens of today. Marama has no class & James can’t even tell the truth about his degree. If you vote for them you are just asking for the destruction of this country. Good luck with that.
I'm curious, what did he say that you thought was racist? I'm not an Act supporter but I don't recall him saying anything that would be categorised as racism.

We sure do need David Seymour. We must dispatch the loony lefties what a wasteful lot.

he seems genuine and when he speaks I understand what he is saying , he explains things well
Yeah, I'm enjoying his recent interviews and really respect what he says and how he's handling himself. Would be nice to see some positive debates before this election where politicians show each other respect and debate ideas without any mud slinging.
David is a breath of fresh air. At last we have some common sense coming from politions!

Good open interview with David Seymour, responsible answers, to very valid questions, well done.
Nice to listen to such an indepth interview. I wish we could get more of this in an election rather than 15 sec sound bites. Well done.
He’s got a smart strategy when it comes to hauling funds and being cohesive as a full team, including administration
David seymour is exceptional.
That's one word for him
Perv party
Well done Life FM. Have enjoyed the interviews.

Definitely a vote for ACT this year

I think this gentleman should be the next PM...Cinfident n persistent ..knowledgeable !
go David
I would be very happy to see David as part of the next govt.

They are treated differently by Pakeha every day. Pakeha hates Maori in every aspect of life.
I don't understand why some parties (mainly on the left) are trying to create division between us. We are all one people. That was the point of the treaty, to ensure that all Maori were treated like everyone else under the crown. Maori should have the same rights as everyone else, no more, no less.
@@dragonrings14 you're ignorant
Why not ask him say which National Policies they agree with and which of their polices National agree with.

Thank you for being a leader ,you speak like Prophect Daniel in the Bible,that was threw in the dem of lion, and you walk around with lions.
Why are you not interviewing LIZ GUNN of NZ LOYAL?
In 1981 the average house price was 25k . In 2020 it was 615 k.
The banking industry was deregulated in 1984/85. Does Act thing this contributed the increase of house prices?
Totally not an act supporter but this went a long way towards it.

@@MandySam13 so what does unemployed mean?
Winston has my vote , all these other politicians just spew the same crap as the other .
Two great people making the most sense in a time of extreme need is David Seymour and Winston Peters.
Out of this political madness great people can rise up.
The minimum wage could change to average productive gains each year.
Does the ACT party support National selling NZ homes to China to rent back to us by overturning the foreign house buyer ban?
Yes, the absolutely do support that and it is one of the things I dislike intensely about them. And I would still take them over labour or greens.
what is your evidence to support your assertion?@@mr2981
This is my biggest issue with Nats. I think it is only gonna be stopped if NZ First are needed to get National over the finishing line because there is no way Winnie is supporting that one.

Whoops! Lost me there Dave! NZF
It is a pity winston will kick this guys butt.
Learn more about Post-Kantian ideology particularly Hegel's Dialectical Methodology that shaped NZ.
I like David, but he's wrong about Trump. You can't focus on the surface level
David is correct about Trump.
Trump would always defend himself against attacks from the left. He is a dirty fighter from Jersey thus was framed as the aggressor.

Cut these rates!!! Paying off my mortgage is a struggle itself
Sir Keith Holyoake may not think the MP for Epsom conducts himself well.
Why are their party colours the same as the LGBTQ colours?
Because the alphabet people have tried to take all the colours? Seems like they are adding some every day as they figure out new crazy things to 'identify' as.
Liar. There are more Asian and Polynesian employees at Auckland Council than there are Maori employees. He is lying again.

Slimey Seymour.
Is racism peaceful David?
Looking Haven people for NZ
This interview has definitely NOT changed my mind about Seymour’s racist ideaology towards Māori and Pasefika.
I'm curious, what did he say that you thought was racist? I'm not an Act supporter but I don't recall him saying anything that would be categorised as racism.
We down trust David Seymour talk treaty,down have land or sea,forest volcanoes around, Auckland not in treaty

There is no god.
Most of the world's population now and throughout history would disagree with you but you are free to have your own opinion.
How did you come to this conclusion?
