Talk:No Commercial Airport at Whenuapai Airbase Party

Untitled
While I agree this is a minnow in the NZ political ecosystem, the list of Political parties in New Zealand has a clear policy of listing unregistered parties. This party has at least bothered to apply to register a logo, which puts them in the same category as the Liberals and a step above some which are listed (or have historically been listed).

Party registration in New Zealand is only necessary to contest the list vote. Unregistered parties can and do run electorate candidates, and this bunch are expected to do so. I don't expect it to be more than one or two, but we seem quite happy to include numerous unregistered parties which run at most two candidates per election, or even none at all.

As a party with a registered logo which is expected to run candidates in Parliamentary elections, it should be listed. IdiotSavant (talk) 03:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This article is about a nascent political party, not an airport. I suggest appending the word "Party" to the title of this article if that is the proper term for such in New Zealand. -Canglesea (talk) 01:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
