There are the main parties; Labour Party, National Party, NZ First, The Greens, Maori Party, Jim Anderton's Progressive, ACT, The Alliance, NZ Democratic Party for Social Credit, United Future, Pacific Party.
But here’s some quotes from some of the lesser-known parties, I hope it gives you a bit of a guide as to how to vote;
Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party
“It is fundamentally wrong for cannabis to be criminalised and subject to the over priced black market”
“I can’t remember why I’m here man, but it’s been a hell of a ride”
“Can you even imagine how many joints I could've bought with the money I’m spending on this election”
Direct Democracy Party
“Make no mistake about it, “money” has become the new international God, the banks its disciples”
“The New Zealand Government at the behest of the many vested interests (secrete reference to Don Brash and John Key).. have sought to use economics as a weapon to dispossess us of our lands, freedoms and wealth”
“the true evil of the current banking system is its ultimate enslavery of the people”
“So where did the money go”
Libertarianz
“To establish a constitutional republic of New Freeland”
“taxation and drug prohibition are outrageous violations of our liberties”
“a lot of Buzzword Bullshit”
“large print giveth, but small print taketh away."
“Most violent crime is caused by a welfare-addicted underclass”
“education is one of the worst violations of our rights”
“If gay rights don’t touch you, I will”
New World Order
When I did an internet search on this party I discovered they don’t put anything on the internet because it’s a tool of the infidel !
“a New World Order is just the beginning; Once in place they can engage their plan to exterminate 80% of the world's population, while enabling the "elites" to live forever with the aid of advanced technology.”
RAM - Residents Action Movement
“promote a positive vision of a multi-cultural inclusive society”
“GST removed from food items”
“Road toll idiocy should be rejected outright'
Their policy page on their web site is blank?
The Bill and Ben Party
“the main motivation behind our political aspirations might be the free Air New Zealand flights and our own motorcade to Eden Park on a Friday night”
“they promise to promise nothing, although they realise that by promising no promises they are actually making a promise, that’s the only promise they are going to make”
The Family Party
“double-dipping democracy stinks”
Mohammad Yousuf – “My God can kick your Gods arse”
Richard Lewis – “my God won’t go anywhere near your Gods arse”
Interviewer “Isn’t the Family Party just Destiny Party in drag”
Richard Lewis “ Now that just wouldn’t be right would it”
The Kiwi Party
“require parental consent prior to under age abortions” (???? say what?)
“Raise the drinking age to twenty”
“stop the Boobs on Bikes parade”
(Can’t see any one here voting for them?)
The Republic of New Zealand Party
“We need Men’s Refuge Centres so that marginalised men can be empowered to change”
“I count it as a privilege to have put in place a crisis help line service for suicide prevention. Hopefully they will ring us before committing suicide and not when it’s too late”
“We must allow people to bring out their angst, their pain, their hurt and we must create healthier communities here in New Zealand”
(Probably a party more attractive to Honda riders)
Workers Party of New Zealand
“As 40 percent of the workforce is not unionised the method of intermittent skirmishing is favoured over attempts at all out strikes”
“Save the pizzas for the managers who have to get out of bed in the middle of the night when a strike is called”
“With just a month to go to election day we don’t need to worry about peaking too early”
“Workers should be running the country – as long as they don’t go on strike”
