The myth of the “wasted vote” is a pervasive narrative in New Zealand’s general elections, discouraging people from voting for minor parties. However, this mindset is a self-fulfilling prophecy, ensuring that minor parties never gain traction. If everyone voted for a minor party, it would become the next government.

The “wasted vote” argument is often pushed by those who want to maintain the status quo and prevent substantive change. By funneling voters back into the two-party system, they ensure that the same issues persist, and no real progress is made. History has proven this time and again, with the same problems arising at every election.

To break this cycle, it’s essential to change the mindset around voting. By ignoring those who perpetuate the “wasted vote” narrative, voters can reclaim control of their country and their lives. It’s time to recognize that all current political parties in New Zealand are beholden to globalist influences and hold no real power over the country’s direction.

In reality, it’s the bureaucratic machine that maintains the levers of power, and it’s this machine that should be the first to fall. By supporting minor parties and alternative candidates, voters can begin to dismantle this machine.

Only a minor party will break the cycle and target the real cause of the problems instead of creating more symptoms while never addressing the cause. Although we are captured by globalist entities, it’s parliament and politicians who ensure the globalist agenda takes root and flourishes. Change the government, and you end the control.

To those who say voting is a waste of time, I ask: how’s that working out for you? As the system continues to tighten its grip, it’s clear that change won’t come from within the existing power structure. We need a radical shift, one that only a minor party can provide.

However, there’s a more sinister aspect to this narrative. As people become more aware of the problems and desire change, they’re often captured by multi-level structures designed to divert their attention and energy. These structures, masquerading as grassroots movements or alternative parties, promise change but ultimately lead to the same old outcomes.

The ingenious ways used to capture disillusioned people include:

• Creating false hope: Promising change and reform, but delivering nothing but empty rhetoric.
• Diverting attention: Focusing on symptom-based solutions rather than addressing the root causes of the problems.

•Manufacturing dissent: Creating controlled opposition to give the illusion of choice and debate

• Neutralizing dissent: Co-opting or discrediting genuine alternative voices and movements.

These tactics are designed to keep people trapped in a cycle of antagonism, preventing them from working towards meaningful change. Meanwhile, the transhumanist agenda moves forward, incrementally eroding our freedoms and autonomy.

It’s time to wake up and see the bigger picture. The “wasted vote” narrative is just a small part of a larger machine designed to maintain control and prevent real change. By recognizing these tactics and supporting genuine alternative voices and movements, we can begin to reclaim our power and create a brighter future for New Zealand.

The New Zealand Medical Council’s (NZMC) relentless pursuit of Dr. Samantha Bailey is a stark reminder of the militant tactics employed by those who seek to maintain the crumbling narrative surrounding COVID-19. The NZMC, in tandem with the pharmaceutical industry and the New Zealand government, have peddled and profited from this fraud, leaving a trail of death, destruction, and devastation in their wake.

The charges brought against Dr. Bailey, including “Covid-19 (Established)” and “Public safety compromised (Established),” are nothing short of farcical. With no evidence of harm caused by her actions, the NZMC has relied on the tainted opinions of government-aligned experts like Helen Petoussis-Harris and Dr. Michelle Balm. Both “experts” simply asserted that public safety could be compromised without providing a single case.

The NZMC’s actions are a clear case of selective enforcement, designed to silence dissenting voices and maintain the illusion of a pandemic. Dr. Bailey’s views on COVID-19 have been portrayed as a risk to public safety, while her books, such as “The Final Pandemic,” which meticulously dismantle the COVID narrative, have been conveniently ignored.

The mainstream media’s (MSM) complicity in this charade is equally appalling. Their silence on Dr. Bailey’s wider publications and the NZMC’s actions raise serious questions about their independence and commitment to truth. Why haven’t government experts refuted the Bailey’s work, particularly Dr. Mark Bailey’s treatise “A Farewell to Virology”? The MSM’s failure to report on this matter is a stark reminder of their role in perpetuating the SARS-CoV-2 myth.

The imposition of unprecedented costs, exceeding $148,000, on Dr. Bailey, for a show trial she did not participate in, is a blatant example of the NZMC’s corruption and collusion with the pharmaceutical industry. This money has lined the pockets of beneficiaries in the legal system, further highlighting the entrenched interests at play.

The New Zealand government’s role in this debacle can not be overstated. Their militant application of the SARS-CoV-2 narrative has led to untold suffering, financial ruin, and loss of life. It is imperative that the government, NZMC, and pharmaceutical industry be held accountable for their actions.

The people of New Zealand deserve answers. They deserve to know the truth about the SARS-CoV-2 myth and the motivations behind NZMC’s actions. It is time for transparency, accountability, and justice.

Furthermore, it is essential to acknowledge that the Wuhan Lab Leak narrative, [the back up story] is merely another means to perpetuate the already discredited virus myth. This narrative shift aims to maintain the illusion of a deadly virus while deflecting attention from the actual culprits behind the pandemic: those who pushed unnecessary lockdowns, mask mandates, and experimental injections. With the MSM peddling this new narrative, the powers that be seek to salvage their credibility and maintain control over the narrative while continuing to line their pockets with profits from this and future ‘pandemics.’

The 2023 New Zealand General Election, held on October 14, marked a significant shift in the country’s political landscape, with the centre-right National Party, led by Christopher Luxon, forming a coalition government alongside ACT and New Zealand First, displacing the incumbent Labour Party. Amidst this contest of major parties, smaller parties like NZ Loyal emerged, seeking to carve out a niche in an increasingly fragmented electorate. NZ Loyal positioned itself as an anti-establishment, populist party with a focus on sovereignty, individual freedoms, and skepticism toward mainstream institutions. This essay examines NZ Loyal’s role in the 2023 election, analyzing its voter base through voting correlations with other parties and situating its performance within the broader political and social context of New Zealand at the time.

Background and Ideology of NZ Loyal

NZ Loyal was founded in June 2023. The party’s platform was rooted in a rejection of overreach by the globalist elite and a call for New Zealand to reclaim its independence from international organizations like the United Nations. Key policy positions included opposition to water fluoridation, the use of 1080 poison, tax increases, and “gender programming,” alongside advocacy for reduced government spending and greater individual autonomy. The messaging resonated with a segment of the population disillusioned with traditional politics, particularly in the wake of pandemic-related disruptions.

In the 2023 election, NZ Loyal secured 1.2% of the party vote, translating to approximately 34,000 votes. While this fell well short of the 5% threshold required under New Zealand’s Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system to gain parliamentary representation without an electorate seat, it nonetheless reflected a notable presence among minor parties. To understand NZ Loyal’s voter base and ideological alignment, this essay analyzes its voting correlations with ten other parties: ALCP (Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party), Labour, National, Greens, ACT, New Zealand First, Māori Party, TOP (The Opportunities Party), NewZeal, and Freedoms NZ.

Voting Correlations: Insights into NZ Loyal’s Electorate

The provided correlation coefficients offer a statistical lens through which to examine the overlap or divergence between NZ Loyal voters and those of other parties in the 2023 election. These coefficients range from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to 1 (perfect positive correlation), with 0 indicating no relationship. Below, we explore the implications of these correlations.

Strong Positive Correlations

1. New Zealand First (0.82)
   The strongest correlation exists between NZ Loyal and New Zealand First, a nationalist and socially conservative party led by Winston Peters. This high positive correlation suggests significant overlap in voter priorities, likely driven by shared skepticism of government overreach, emphasis on national sovereignty, and appeal to voters disillusioned with the major parties. New Zealand First’s return to Parliament with 6.08% of the vote after being ousted in 2020 indicates a resurgence of populist sentiment, which NZ Loyal also tapped into, albeit on a smaller scale. Both parties’ messaging around “putting New Zealanders first” likely resonated with similar demographics, such as older, rural, or working-class voters.
2. ACT (0.60)
   A moderately strong positive correlation with ACT, a libertarian-leaning party that secured 8.64% of the vote, highlights a shared emphasis on individual freedoms and reduced government intervention. While ACT’s policy focus—free markets, law and order, and welfare reform—differs from NZ Loyal’s broader anti-establishment stance, their mutual appeal to voters frustrated with bureaucratic overreach likely explains this overlap. ACT’s urban, affluent voter base contrasts with NZ Loyal’s likely rural and grassroots support, suggesting the correlation reflects ideological alignment rather than identical demographics.

Moderate Positive Correlations

3. ALCP (0.36)
   The moderate positive correlation with the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party points to a shared anti-authoritarian streak. ALCP’s single-issue focus on cannabis legalisation aligns with NZ Loyal’s broader advocacy for personal choice, including medical freedom. This overlap may reflect a protest vote against mainstream parties perceived as overly controlling, particularly among younger or fringe voters.
4. NewZeal (0.34)
   Led by former National MP Alfred Ngaro, NewZeal’s socially conservative platform, rooted in Christian values, shows a moderate correlation with NZ Loyal. While NewZeal’s focus on family values and opposition to progressive social policies differs from NZ Loyal’s sovereignty-driven agenda, both parties likely attracted voters seeking alternatives to the secular, centrist establishment. NewZeal’s modest 0.29% vote share suggests a smaller but ideologically adjacent constituency.
5. National (0.31)
   The correlation with National, the election’s winner with 38.1% of the vote, is intriguing. National’s centre-right, pro-business stance contrasts with NZ Loyal’s anti-elite rhetoric, yet the positive correlation may indicate some crossover among conservative voters dissatisfied with National’s perceived moderation under Luxon. Rural voters, a traditional National stronghold, may have split their support with NZ Loyal over issues like farming taxes or environmental regulations.

Weak Positive Correlation

6. Freedoms NZ (0.06)
   The near-zero correlation with Freedoms NZ, an umbrella coalition including parties like Vision NZ and NZ Outdoors & Freedom, is surprising given their shared anti-mandate and freedom-focused platforms. This weak relationship suggests NZ Loyal carved out a distinct niche. Freedoms NZ’s fragmented structure may have diluted its appeal compared to NZ Loyal’s unified messaging.

Negative Correlations

7. Greens (-0.27)
   The negative correlation with the Green Party, which achieved a record 11.6% vote share, reflects stark ideological opposition. The Greens’ progressive, environmentalist agenda—emphasizing sustainability, indigenous rights, and social justice—clashes with NZ Loyal’s rejection of “woke” policies and international climate commitments. This divergence underscores NZ Loyal’s appeal to voters hostile to left-wing priorities.
8. Labour (-0.26)
   Labour, the incumbent party that saw its vote share plummet from 50% in 2020 to 26.91% in 2023, shows a negative correlation with NZ Loyal. Labour’s pandemic-era policies, including lockdowns and vaccine mandates, were lightning rods for NZ Loyal’s critique, driving its voters toward anti-establishment alternatives. This antipathy likely intensified amid economic challenges like inflation, which eroded Labour’s support.
9. TOP (-0.24)
   The Opportunities Party, with its evidence-based, centrist policies, exhibits a negative correlation with NZ Loyal. TOP’s focus on pragmatic solutions—like tax reform and housing—contrasts with NZ Loyal’s emotive, populist approach, highlighting a divide between technocratic and anti-system voters.
10. Maori Party (-0.17)
    The weaker negative correlation with The Maori Party, which won six electorate seats, reflects differing priorities. The Maori Party’s indigenous rights focus and left-leaning social policies diverge from NZ Loyal’s universalist, sovereignty-driven platform, though the weaker correlation suggests less direct antagonism than with Labour or the Greens.

Contextualizing NZ Loyal’s Performance

NZ Loyal’s 1.2% vote share placed it among the more successful minor parties in 2023, outperforming NewZeal (0.29%) and Freedoms NZ (0.46%) but trailing TOP (2.1%) and several parliamentary parties. Its emergence late in the campaign—registered just months before the election—limited its organisational capacity, yet its grassroots momentum enabled it to outpace other fringe contenders. The party’s billboards became a visible symbol of its presence.

The 2023 election occurred against a backdrop of economic strain, with high inflation and a cost-of-living crisis dominating voter concerns. Labour’s sharp decline reflected fatigue with its six-year tenure, while National capitalized on a desire for change. NZ Loyal, like New Zealand First and ACT, benefited from this discontent, offering an outlet for voters frustrated with both Labour’s progressive governance and National’s perceived establishment status. Its strongest correlations with New Zealand First and ACT suggest it drew from a pool of right-leaning, populist, and libertarian-leaning voters, a bloc that collectively bolstered the centre-right coalition’s victory.

Broader Implications

NZ Loyal’s correlations reveal a polarised electorate, with its voter base aligning more closely with right-wing and populist parties while rejecting left-wing and progressive ones. The high correlation with New Zealand First (0.82) underscores the potency of nationalist, anti-elite sentiment in 2023, a trend mirrored globally in movements like Brexit or Trumpism. However, its failure to reach the 5% threshold highlights the challenges minor parties face under MMP without an electorate seat or broader coalition support.

The party’s appeal was likely amplified by lingering pandemic-era grievances, as evidenced by its overlap with ALCP and ACT—parties championing personal freedoms. Yet its weak link with Freedoms NZ (0.06) rejects the concept of a unified “freedom movement.”

Conclusion

In the 2023 New Zealand General Election, NZ Loyal emerged as a minor but notable player, channeling anti-establishment sentiment into a 1.2% vote share. Its voting correlations—strongest with New Zealand First (0.82) and ACT (0.60), moderate with ALCP (0.36), NewZeal (0.34), and National (0.31), and negative with Greens (-0.27), Labour (-0.26), TOP (-0.24), and Māori Party (-0.17)—paint a picture of a party appealing to right-leaning, sovereignty-focused voters disillusioned with the mainstream. While it fell short of parliamentary representation, NZ Loyal’s performance reflects a broader undercurrent of populist discontent, offering insights into the evolving dynamics of New Zealand’s political landscape as of March 17, 2025.

We’ve all encountered them – the self-proclaimed guardians of truth, morality, and righteousness. They loudly denounce others for their perceived shortcomings, yet they conveniently ignore their own glaring flaws.

Isn’t it strange that some Christians will tell you that Jesus is their lord and saviour, yet they’ve never actually met him? Their understanding of his teachings is based on indoctrination, not personal experience. They condemn others for their lack of faith, yet their own faith is rooted in hearsay, not direct knowledge.

Similarly, we see politicians and pundits who rail against corruption yet are embroiled in their own scandals. They decry the lack of transparency in government, yet they hide behind secrecy and obfuscation.

We see environmental activists who fly around the world, lecturing others about carbon footprints, yet they leave a trail of pollution in their own wake. They condemn corporations for their environmental record yet ignore their own complicity in the problem.

We see social justice warriors who cry out against systemic racism yet perpetuate their own biases and prejudices. They demand equality and fairness, yet they deny these same rights to those who disagree with them.

We see teachers who instruct based on what they were taught, rather than what they’ve personally verified. They regurgitate dogma rather than encouraging critical thinking. They condemn students for questioning authority, yet they fail to question their own assumptions.

We see scientists who tout the latest research yet ignore the limitations and biases of their own studies. They dismiss alternative perspectives, yet they fail to consider the possibility that they might be wrong.

We see journalists who report on the news yet are beholden to their corporate sponsors. They decry fake news, yet they perpetuate their own brand of biased reporting.

These examples illustrate the profound hypocrisy that pervades our society. It’s hypocrisy that perpetuates itself through systemic flaws, biases, and shortcomings.

At New Zealand Loyal, we recognize these flaws and are committed to addressing them. Our policies are designed to cure the root causes of these problems, not just treat the symptoms. We aim to promote authenticity, honesty, and self-awareness in all aspects of our society.

By acknowledging and confronting the hypocrisy that surrounds us, we can begin to build a more just, equitable, and honest society. Join us in our mission to create a better future for all New Zealanders.

Liz Gunn’s actions as the former leader of the New Zealand Loyal party have been nothing short of shameful. Not only did she unconstitutionally shut down the party and refuse to account for approximately $40,000 in cash and $11,000 in assets, but she also had the audacity to attempt to trademark the party’s name, logo, and tagline. This is despite the fact that these intellectual properties belong to the party membership, not her.

What’s even more egregious is that the name, logo, and tagline were not even her creation. They were the result of a collaborative effort by five people on the same day. This blatant attempt to claim ownership and control over the party’s identity is a stark demonstration of her lack of integrity.

Furthermore, her failure to provide transparency and accountability for the party’s finances, including the massive funds taken into her accounts from December 2023 to July 2024, raises serious concerns about her honesty and trustworthiness. The fact that she has made defamatory statements against party members who have worked tirelessly to rescue the party and continue its mission is unacceptable.

We demand a full forensic accounting of the New Zealand Loyal accounts from its inception, including all bank accounts used to take party money. We are more than happy to open our books to any authority appointed for this purpose and can account for every single cent of the limited funds we have received.

Her refusal to participate in a live debate with the new administration and her continued attempts to deflect and project demonstrate that she has a lot to hide. We believe her actions warrant a thorough investigation by multiple agencies, and we welcome such a process.

It’s time for Liz Gunn to come clean. Hand over the financial records and membership database, which she has no right to retain. Her actions will not be swept under the rug. We will continue to fight for transparency, accountability, and justice.

Kelvyn talks to Whangarei Mayor and Councillors about legal threats they have received from the Director General of Health after refusing to fluoridate their local water supply.

Welcome to New Zealand Loyal, the only party in New Zealand that brings logical and tangible solutions to the table. We’re committed to putting New Zealanders first and forging a path that’s truly independent.

We believe: any party that doesn’t prioritize the creation of its own coin, credit, and currency as a core policy isn’t genuinely committed to solving the problems we face. It’s time for New Zealand to take control of its own destiny and become self-sufficient, free from the whims of other nations’ agendas.

For too long, New Zealand’s parliament has been overrun by self-serving politicians who live off the hard work of everyday Kiwis. We call it “Parasite Palace” – and it’s time for a fumigation. With New Zealand Loyal, you can say goodbye to the leeches who’ve grown fat off your labor while taking instructions from their globalist paymasters.

We believe: New Zealanders deserve better than to work themselves to the bone just to barely scrape by. It’s time for a government that truly represents the people. Our policy solutions are designed to deliver a quality of life unparalleled anywhere – and we’re ready to implement them with your support.

Decades of the same old tricks from other parties have led our nation down a path of decline. It’s time to forge a new path, one that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of everyday New Zealanders. With New Zealand Loyal, you can expect:

• A government that serves the people, not globalist interests or corporate elites.
• Lawmaking grounded in facts and evidence, not propaganda or dogma.
• Freedom understood to have importance for people’s emotional well-being.
• Economic policies that benefit all Kiwis, not banking and finance leeches.
• A commitment to self-sufficiency, so we’re not beholden to other nations’ agendas.
• And so much more!

Our vision is for a New Zealand where the hierarchical structure is set right, with the people at the top. We believe that a government should facilitate, not dictate. It’s time for real solutions that serve real people, not just the interests of the powerful and wealthy.

Read our policy solutions and discover that the life you’ve always dreamed of is close at hand.
