As a Christian right winger I'd say that National doesn't represent my political views. They're much like Labour, they do very little.

I have very little hope that our government will improve no matter who is voted in. They seem determined to slowly make things worse, not matter what direction they pick.

As a non-religious part of the majority I'm happy that your religious views are no longer represented in political views, as they're a niche perspective and should not be foisted on society at large.

I'm not advocating my views here. I'm simply stating that as a religious person I think calling National Christian right is incorrect.

Nit picking, but not quite the majority yet, last NZ census had irreligious at 48%

What's the technical term for "largest single bloc"? Because that other 52% isn't just Christian.

A "plurality" is the term for that.

With the exception of laws regarding religion itself (say prayer in school) almost all laws with religious supporters also have non-religious supporters. The views aren't purely "religious" in basis.
