I'm not so sure; I suspect he knows that he speaks only for those who believe his every word. I think its likely that he's enjoying the publicity & the chance to present himself as an upright & truthful person who wants the best for Kiwis, rather than the charlatan intent on making money that he is.
I do wish those opposing him wouldn't use the term fascism - (although I can understand why they do, given the views of the McBishop) since under a fascist govt, the group they're opposed to & their own group, wouldn't be permitted to protest at all.
Apparently his nibs has announced a 'new' political party - all the odds & sods, by the look of it. Oh joy - just what's needed, a Nutters r us party!

"Protest leader forms new political party (again)
Brian Tamaki has announced a new political party, joining the fringe New Nation Party and Outdoors Party with his wife Hannah TamakiÔÇÖs Vision New Zealand party. A political poll had Vision NZ on 1% earlier this month.
A party needs 5% of the total party vote to get a share of the seats in Parliament.
Tamaki called on former National Party MP Matt King and his Democracy NZ party, as well as the New Conservatives to join his newly formed party. He also suggested MP Guarav Sharma, who on Tuesday was expelled from Labour, should get in touch."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
