Well, you can always vote the National Party, which I believe is your far-right equivalent of our new-wave Tea Party Republicans.  It even sounds as though the National Party thought process matches some of the extremist ultra-right Republicans.  Were I British, I think my political thoughts fall more in line between Labour and Conservative.  Having never been subject to their ruling, however, I can only speculate by reading what they believe.
