kept those loons away from the levers of power
Don't know enough about the substance of their policies or representatives to characterise the party. In any case, under MMP they would have had to negotiate a coalition, and voters would have made different decisions anyway. The idea of a "protest vote" seems kind of quaint.

I'm a New Zealander. We don't like to make a fuss
In the context of a birthday dinner, that's well understandable. However, as a prevailing practice driven by our national character it's depriving establishments of feedback that can lift their game - which any decent place would welcome. If a dish is edible but not quite right, I'll tell them quietly on the way out, myself (not that I've been anywhere uber-flash for a very long time).
