Bye bye Family Party

The Family Party has made a request to be deregistered as a political party, and for its logo to be cancelled. The Party is a spin-off of Destiny Church,( it used to be called the Destiny Party) is headed by Richard Lewis and former United Future MP Paul Adams, and got just 0.33% of the vote at the 2008 election, the same as the Pacific Party, headed by Taito Philip FIeld.

So now, three Christian parties have departed from the political scene - two of their leaders are in prison, and the third is associated with a man who claims he is the physical manifestation of God. Time to deregister the Pacific Party now, perhaps.
