The anti-gay Conservative Party leader Colin Craig has confirmed he will stand in the East Coast Bays electorate. The seat is currently held by National MP Murray McCully. As it stands, a deal where McCully would step aside possibly 'gifting' Craig the seat, has not been made. However McCully has suggested he might be willing to do so. Craig is a millionaire who runs a property management company, and has sunk millions of dollars of his own money into the Conservative Party. He believes being gay is abnormal and a choice, and says he could be gay if he wanted to. UPDATE: McCully has stated he will be "campaigning strongly" to win his electorate.
