The New Nationalist Party is planning a march next month in Suva to traditionally request President Ratu Josefa Iloilo to stop non-Christians, particularly, the Hindus and Muslims from practising their religion publicly among other things.

Party president, Saula Telawa said among other things, they would request for the abrogation of the 1997 Constitution, to pardon the coup-makers serving jail-terms on Nukulau Island and declare Fiji a Christian State.


It's a crazy world.

The New Nationalist Party

Is this a fringe party? Or do they have a real chance of winning?

Seems to be only part of the Party (http://www.oneworld.org/ips2/jul/fiji.html)

But it is a serious party, with serious local clout...
