United Future has released its party list. There's been a lot of turnover since last election, which is understandable given that the party has schismed and shed its alliance with Outdoor Recreation, but one thing hasn't changed: the list is overwhelmingly white and male, with even less diversity than National. On the plus side, they've put two of their female candidates - sitting MP Judy Turner and party president Denise Krum - in very winnable positions, but overall, its not a very impressive showing. And OTOH, culturally, United Future represents the past. Which I guess makes its name false advertising.
As with other parties, I've done a table showing the top candidates relative placements with last time.
