Social Credit policy
Sir, — Rosie Witty (Octber 9) does not realise the class struggle is over; the age of the strong, greedy union is here. The general strike, approved by Labour, had many bulging pay packet holders in its ranks. Except for its "new girl politician.” the party forgot two-fifths of New Zealand families below the average wage till it remembered Social Credit wanted a minimum living wage. “The widening gap—poverty in New Zealand” is the v/ork of no Labour supporter, but of George Bryant, immediate past president of the Social Credit Political League. Worker participation and a property owning democracy are not exactly what, wealthy landowners would encourage. When two tired old parties lost their way, Labour filled the gap. Now two more have done the same, Social Credit has come in. Politics. like nature, abhors a vacuum. — Yours, etc., A. M. COATES. October 9, 1979.
