I really thought it was time for a change for New Zealand.

Oh well.

Damn will she be (more) smug.

EDIT: 12,488 people voted for Destiny New Zealand. Oh dear God.

Does that mean you'll still have Helen Clarke?

We don't know for sure yet - there are special votes to be counted. Right now she is winning but it is incredibly close so maybe?

Destiny New Zealand = Destiny Church.

Fundamentalist group who campaigned very strongly during the time the civil union bill went through here. Hugely homophobic/prejudiced. Took over a school hall every week here (which they paid for so the school didn't kick them out) for their services.

Sounds like the "Family First" party in Australia, who are an offshoot of the Pentacostal Church.

Did they march? with young children chanting about how evil all the fags are?

It saddens me. These kids don't even get to make their own decisions about what they believe in.
