We’ve not devoted much space to the ones polling under 5% as unless they can get a seat in parliament they’re not going to attract much attention, except in Kate Hannah/Professor Spoonley/Joanna Kidman etc. hitjobs on Stuff/TV1/Newshub which fantasize about ‘right wing extremists’
But they shouldn’t be neglected, and Counterspin Media have done a series on each one of them, replay videos viewable here
The sensible approach for them would have been to combine under an umbrella to contest the election, but there are are 3 big problems:
- Leaders’ egos
- Attachment to their ‘branding’
- Attachment to policy positions which aren’t necessarily shared by the others.
A political party is necessarily a majority thing and it’s unlikely that everyone in them, as a member of parliament or otherwise, agrees with all their policies. You have to live with that if you’re going to get the important things you agree with done. Some readers have said that politicians’ support over 2021-2022 for that substance is a deal breaker for them. But some National MPs were opposed to the Jacinda government’s coercion and ACT voted against the legislation that enabled it.

Luxon, Peters, and Seymour ………. read this one, and take heed.
These are the policies you should be supporting, and incorporating in your political pandering for votes. And, stop pandering, and make these policy; and implement.
This is what we NEW ZEALANDERS want and desire. Make it happen, and listen to the people.
Great Waikanae and thanks. Totally agree with Gordon. If you have any readers in Northland, apart from me, they may be interested to know that we have arranged an NZ Loyal public meeting at the Cornerstone Church, Kerikeri from 7-9 this Friday, 15 September 2023. Doors open at 6.30 pm. the Northland NZ Loyal candidate Michael Feyen will be speaking https://nzloyal.org.nz/pages/michael-feyen ALL welcome
These 2 videos alone should be enough to make any THINKING Kiwi vote NZ Loyal (1)https://rumble.com/v38fdx0-nzloyal-monetary-system-and-taxation-part-one.html

A written constitution would just be the icing on the cakeV
I watched some of the CONdidates debate at the Homestead boozer in Kerikeri last night. . It was supposed to be LIVESTREAM but it was quite often DEADSTREAM as the connection dropped. I am sooooooo glad that we, NZ Loyal, were not there because, as expected, it deteriorated into a slanging match and the “interviewers” (bit of a stretch to call them that) from the bit I watched, were avoiding the elephants in the room, “DEBT” and “TAXES.” One “interviewer,” Damien Grant I think it was, asked the ACT candidate a REALLY stupid question about “would people rush out and buy sub machine guns if ACT revoked some gun legislation!!!! the CONdidtates were all perched on stools and it reminded me of a “coconut shy” from my child hood days “A coconut shy (or coconut shie) is a traditional game frequently found as a side stall at funfairs and fêtes. The game consists of throwing wooden balls at a row of coconuts balanced on posts. Typically a player buys three balls and wins when each coconut is successfully dislodged. In some cases other prizes may be won instead of the coconuts.
The word “shy” in this context means to toss or throw.”

A very good analogy methinks!
Yes, I believe NZLoyal are the only ‘peoples voice’ who have laid bare all the rot on the table, name/shaming the corruption from one end to the other, providing a new ONE tax system for our nation …among other policies that will work for nz people…LOYAL 100%
I had my doubts at first about the NZ Loyal party! But knowing Liz Gunn and National recognize the Maoris as Indigenous people of New Zealand and will still look at Co-Governance and will still persue the global warming rort! I am looking at giving NZ Loyal my party vote.
I had to read your comment a few times as it seemed to say that NZ Loyal and National were in cahoots. I think there should have been a comma after Gunn because in it’s present form it would imply that NZ Loyal and Nazional ae working together, which I don’t think you mean
The list of policies is a start but any constitution must have equal treatment for all. The US constitution and its amendments could be used as an example.
Liz did some great work interviewing the jab injured but she needs a harder edge going up against the seasoned troughers.
And finally, Liz takes way too long to make a point and would be trounced by those who have the gift for pithy one-liners.
Totally agree I’m in two minds to whether she needs to tone down the conspiracy theories within her speeches, as when Joe Public hears even a whisper of “conspiracy theory” THEY automatically switch off mentally.
Liz has already won the converted/awake/aware/freedom fighters, her speeches almost seem to be aimed at preaching the choir.
I feel she needs to stick to the policies which by themselves are enough to provoke thought within the blue pill eating public.
Liz needs to win Joe public’s vote – she already has the choirs, she now needs the unbelieving pagans (so to speak)
Yes the truth will set them free, but sometimes the conspiracy truth just causes Joe Public to look the other way, ignorance is bliss to them.
