Break out the barge poles

Despite polling at around 1%, Destiny New Zealand is confident of beating the 5% threshold at the election. But then there's this coment about their aspirations for government:

[Destiny New Zealand leader Richard Lewis] said Destiny's policies sat well with National and the party would look to enter into a coalition with National, if National won the election.

If I were National, I'd be breaking out the barge poles already...

I do not think a barge pole would be enough. I'm more thinking a tactical nuclear grenade to keep them away :-)

I would have thought destiny church would wanty to be an independant "voice of concience" or somthing.

anyway as for national I see no harm in alienating a party that has a snow ball's chance in hell of actualy getting a seat. So - grenades away.

Otherwise you'd just politely pull a Labour/Cullen on them.

I'm more thinking about the political cost of being seen to be associated with them. Since their hate march, they're simply toxic.

Forget the barge pole - garlic-crusted harpoons would be more useful. National needs a theo-con coalition partner like a whale needs to visit a Tokyo sushi bar.
