Immigration
The Business Round Table, and other commercial interests in New Zealand are constantly proposing that our population be increased through immigration. The figure of Five Million by the year 2020 has been suggested in order to both stimulate the domestic economy, and for New Zealand to become a significant player in the world market. The only reason why the Round Table and their mates advocate this is so they can make even more money at our expense. The McGillicuddy Serious Party strongly disagrees with population increase.
Ethic Cleansing
It is essential for New Zealand to reduce it’s population in
order to minimalise our detrimental effect on the ENVIRONMENT, to
reduce pressure on resources, and to reduce social pressures. The figure
we have identified to quickly and effectively achieve this end is Two
Million by the year 2002.
The McGillicuddy Serious Party (1) predicts a huge number of people (those that enjoy making heaps of money and/or being miserable), shortly after our election victory, will opt out of the marvellous utopian society we intend to build here, and flee for other shores completely of their own free will, and good riddance to the lot of them.
This exodus is to be encouraged, as there will be hoards of good people from all around the world wishing to join us in this great adventure (2). We will, however, let only a very few of them in. Our projections reveal an immediate need for people with a genuine skill in certain medieval professions to teach the TOPs (Training Other Peasants) classes. The department will set up a fiendishly complex points system where applicants will be tested on, amongst other things, their sense of fun, their suspicion and/or ignorance of modern things and their ability to live without electricity and money. We will ensure New Zealand gets a consistently high calibre of new immigrants all willing and able to fit in and do their bit.

| The current industrial and technological skills fashionable in our
society will be useless after the Great Leap Backwards. There will be an
immediate need for essential low technology experts in New Zealand. Some
of the skills the immigration department will be looking for are:
* Blacksmiths * Cartwnghts * Coopers * Mad Prophets * Thatchers * Stonemasons * Midwives * Nightsoil Carters *Travelling Quacks * Tinkers * Plague Cart Operators * Chimney Sweeps * Bellows operators * Jesters * Shamans (no new age weirdoes thank you) * Village Idiots * Bamboo Engmeers. * Mad Scientists |
