Proposed rebranding by TOP will cause widespread voter confusion
The NZ Outdoors and Freedom Party will strenuously oppose the Opportunity party's proposed rebranding to "OP" and is in the process of alerting the Electoral Commission to its concerns.
Party Secretary Bruce Abrahams says "For a long time now we have received complaints from voters that they have been confused when asked in polls which often don't ask about the NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party at all. We suspect our Outdoors and Freedom party votes have accidentally gone to TOP due to voters assuming it stands for The Outdoors Party.”
Now the NZ Outdoors and Freedom party is consistently ahead of TOP in the polls (last poll NZOFP was at 1.5% over TOP’s 1.2%) their name change looks like a deliberate attempt to add to the confusion and divert our NZ Outdoors and Freedom party votes.
The NZ Outdoors and Freedom party has been rebranding its web page and brochures to reflect the parties initials NZOFP to make it easier for voters in next year's election. www.nzofp.co.nz
"We have worked courageously to build a loyal grassroots support base, challenging many controversial globalist government policies, state controlled media, science and police. Including gene technology, digital currency, the heavy-handed covid response and mandates, selling carbon credits and forests to overseas companies and restricting access to nature and outdoors recreations." says leader Sue Grey.
"We have worked hard developing innovative health, education and regenerative farming policies, making numerous parliamentary submissions and OIA requests, and challenging the unfair allocation of Broadcasting funds in the High Court before the last election. We have built up a huge community of frustrated New Zealanders with our active social media and our innovative health and education policies which offer real solutions. It's unfair if another party can change their name to take advantage of the massive grassroots support we have built".
