Destiny New Zealand
political party has emerged in two recent poll results
adding substance and credibility to its 2005 election
campaign.
“We’ve been working very hard at
grassroots level and have taken the initiative on issues
that impact on New Zealand families. Our message of
empowering families is gaining traction,” says party Leader
Richard Lewis.
The Sunday Star Times/BRC poll shows
the party registering one percent support for the first
time. A TV3/TNS Opinion poll registered the party ahead of
the Alliance, Progressive and Christian Heritage parties.
Key elements of leadership, organisation and ‘message’ have
also been attributed to the party as it builds towards the
2005 election.
“For us, politics is about people not
power - it’s about strengthening families and creating a
positive future for our children. When you consider that we
live under the most anti-family government our nation has
ever seen, Destiny NZ’s entry into politics could not have
been timed better,” Lewis added.
