Former broadcaster and conspiracy theorist Liz Gunn has successfully registered her political party, meaning New Zealand Loyal will appear on ballot papers next month. In a social media message, Gunn made clear that the “them” in the party’s slogan “Loyal to you, not to them” refers to “the globalists”, saying “we are on the precipice of losing our country to the globalists”. She further warned of “the deep state creatures who I’m afraid to say have for centuries, in fact, ruled our existence. There is much research that you can do there.”
Two other parties, the Women’s Rights Party and the Democratic Alliance, were also confirmed registered by the Electoral Commission today. Leighton Baker, who like Gunn was a prominent figure associated with the occupation of parliament grounds, recently registered a party in his own name. It’s a very crowded field.
