 I got a flyer in my mailbox the other day from the Loyal NZ party, led by Liz Gunn. A contrarian infamous for calling COVID vaccination targets "jab rape", and claiming that an October 2021 earthquake in the North Island was Mother Nature's response to the govt's COVID management:

Well, there's the NZ Freedom Democrat Loyal Party, and the Loyal Democrat Freedom Party of NZ, and the Democratic NZ Loyalty Freedom Party, and the Judean People's Liberation Front...
