Who should i vote for?
|
National
The larger center right party mainly representing farmers, higher earners and business owners. Fairly centerist policies. Pro mininig for the economic benefits.
|
Greens
Left wing party primarily focusing on environmental rights, healthy homes, students, and unemployed rights. Has increased proportiona representation over recent years mainly at a cost to Labour. A likely Labour coallition partner, but not always. Against mining.

|
Maori Party
Conservative established Maori vote. Seems to be that Labour is the main competitor for the Maori vote, so given recent coallitions, the Maori party ends up being like the National Maori Party.
|
NZ First
Centerist conservative party, fairly conservative policies representing retirees mainly. On the left here only because there was some space... lol...
|
|
Act
Right wing party representing higher income earners and minimising government intervention. Likely coallition partner. May not get enough votes to get into parliament this year.
|
Internet Mana
Representing disenfranchised maori and coat tailing Hone Harawira seat funded by Kim dot com. Focus on very low wage earners or unemployed people. May not get enough votes to get into parliament this year if Hone doesn't get in
|
|
United Future
Mainly a vote for Peter Dunn for local MP in wellington. Fairly liberal policies, tends to be National coallition partner.
