New Zealand’s Green Party loved by polygamists

Is New Zealand’s Green Party a front for ‘Big Love’ style Utah polygamists?

Voters at the upcoming election this year could be forgiven for wondering with a new poll discovering one in four Green voters wants a law change to support polygamy.

The poll, undertaken by David Farrar’s Curia Research, surveyed 1022 people on their attitudes to redefining marriage to include multiple wives or husbands…and found support for the idea was strongest – at 25% – among Green voters.

Overall, national support for polygamy is running at 10% in New Zealand and growing rapidly among the under 30s, where 16% of respondents support the idea.

The poll was conducted for Family First and has a margin of error of +/- 3.2%.
