Chinese immigrant communities are generally pretty reliable conservative all over the world - they're famous bulwarks of conservative areas in the US, Canada and the UK. Probably due to their conservative social traditions and focus on small businesses.DPF:TLDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372937855256319716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-70648249861684901302011-11-16T00:20:26.082+13:002011-11-16T00:20:26.082+13:00They've folded in the New Citizens Party?

That's intriguing, considering the scuttlebutt I heard was that New Citizens was receiving funding from sources in China...although since supposedly most new Chinese immigrants at least are National/Act voters then maybe the Conservatives aren't too big a stretch. It is unfortunate that Labour and the Greens woke up to the power of the new Asian immigrant vote way too late...<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-20604110132320875742011-11-15T21:29:15.254+13:002011-11-15T21:29:15.254+13:00@ Brett Dale

Could the imbalance in representation of women be more a result of haste to position candidates rather than a deliberate slight by the party hierarchy?
