Talk:Christian politics in New Zealand

message: May I suggest that the Exclusive Brethren be added to this article given their involvement in the NZ 2005 general Election.Mombas 08:20, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added as a see also section. It's always good to add a link to something that should be mentioned in the article to see also (or create one, as I did here). The section on New Zealand should provide a good foundation for writing about them here. Richard001 10:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The Article states christians are more likely to support National yet the figures I have seen have Labour attaining 31.5% of the "regular churchgoer" vote in 1999 compared to National's 20.2%, while in 2002 Labour captured 30.6% comppared with National's 14.4%. It appears that the claim National is the favoured choice for Christians is a stretch unless Prostitution reform in 2003 and the Civil Union Bill of 2005 has reversed the ration. Perhaps if someone had access to comparable statistics for the 2005 election it would enable a more accurate generalization of Chritian voting patterns. SOurce is R.

replies: text: According to these tables from the NZ Election Study website, the gap had certainly closed by 2005, and may have reversed. They show 31.5% of Christians voting Labour, and 30.3% National. The "regular churchgoer" figures there seem to include non-Christian religions, but they show National leading among weekly worshippers, with 32.2% against Labour's 23.5%. -- Avenue (talk) 22:52, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Given the title, I intend to flesh out some of the non-evangelic aspects over the next little while. (Feel free to help!). It may be that an "Evangelical Politics in New Zealand" article will need to come out of this at some point, but it would be nice for this current article to have a good fair coverage of the whole field.

message: The flowchart image can do with some updating, to reflect the name change of the Conservative Party, more new parties, and the fact that Vision NZ has the same founders as Destiny NZ. What app was used to create the chart?
