 New Zealand WIN Party - Freedom of Choice - fighting smoking ban in bars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The New Zealand WIN Party has copped a lot of dissension from supporters over the decision to align with Peter Dunne and United Future for New Zealand Election '05, but the dissension has come after the election and after Peter Dunne's decision to support and be part of the Labour led government.
Some of our critics say that had the WIN Party aligned with National, the election outcome would have seen National gain the most seats, but hello, wake up, it is obvious from United Future's party vote result that our aligning with National would not have changed the outcome.
Well-established and/or resourced parties such as ACT, the Progressives, the Alliance and Destiny did not come anywhere near attracting five percent of the party vote, an outcome that was obvious to the WIN Party executive long before election day.
