Talk:Ruthanasia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have greatly expanded this. I wonder whether it is right that this should be under the title Ruthanasia, which is, after all a pejorative and hardly NPOV reference to the process. Perhaps this should be merged into an article on Ruth Richardson, and ruthanasia just directed to that, or stubbed simply to refer to the term, and cross referenced to the other article.ElectricRay 15:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Pejorative is a highly subjective term. In its own way the third way can be considered so too. Whilst laissez-faire is a term that no politician with any hopes of centrism would mention even if it aptly fits their policies.

I'm in favour of keeping it as Ruthanasia, it's well cemented in NZ political lingo. Its neutrality is unquestionable - the ACT Party openly promotes it and sought Richardson to run for them whilst Labour scorns it; that's as neutral as politics ever gets! -- Greaser 01:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
