So another election campaign is upon us. All the evangelical churches will be mobilising their people to boot out the godless Labour Party with its Anti Christ Helen Clark and install a new heaven and new earth with the National Party and its friends.

As I said in the last election, this mindset is very puzzling as all three of the centre right parties are socially liberal and is reflected in their leaders Key, Hide, and Dunn (which his Christian wing finally woke up to). I think the only true Conservative in the leadership of any of the centre right parties is Bill English.I think NZ evangelicals have made the mistake of thinking the NZ political scene is like the U.S where Right equals God fearing (and guns of course).

The most socially conservative party going by its voting record in my opinion is NZ First. And it could be argued its most family friendly party with its successes in free health care for under sixes and recently the increases in the super and the introduction of the gold card. So it may not be popular and it may be bagged by the media but I know where I am putting my vote this election even if it winds up a wasted vote. And In the end Winston just has better suits then the other guys :)
