David Farrar: Who did we vote with?


Winston Peters announced:

New Zealand has voted for a United Nations resolution on Israel’s presence in occupied Palestinian Territory with some caveats, Foreign Minister Winston Peters says.

“New Zealand’s yes vote is fundamentally a signal of our strong support for international law and the need for a two-state solution,” Mr Peters says.

The resolution is here. These are some of the countries that didn’t vote for it as they say it as unbalanced:
  • Argentina
  • Australia
  • Austria
  • Canada
  • Costa Rica
  • Croatia
  • Denmark
  • Georgia
  • Germany
  • India
  • Italy
  • Netherlands
  • Poland
  • South Korea
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
  • Ukraine
  • UK
  • US
So we didn’t vote with them, but we did vote with China, Cuba, Iran, Libya, Nicaragua, Russia, Syria and Zimbabwe!

David Farrar runs Curia Market Research, a specialist opinion polling and research agency, and the popular Kiwiblog where this article was sourced. He previously worked in the Parliament for eight years, serving two National Party Prime Ministers and three Opposition Leaders.
