The Christian Vote

Destiny NZ is claiming they may make Parliament as they are outpolling Progressive in the polls. Well yes St Jim does only have 0.1% support but he holds and electorate seat. Destiny also claims they were the highest polling party not to make Parliament.

This is true in that they were in 9th place with 0.62%. But that is a long way from 5%.

Now what were all the Christian based party votes last election:

United Future 2.67%
Destiny 0.62%
Christian Heritage 0.12%
NZ Family Rights 0.05%

That is a total of 3.46%. And I doubt all the United Future vote as a Christian vote. So the chance of either Destiny or Future NZ making it next time is basically nil.
