Last night’s 1News Verian political poll showed one New Zealand voter in three is now somewhere other than the two major parties, a huge change to prior elections.
I’m a terminally online policy nerd and am not voting for them - and where the hell are their crime/ law and order/ justice/ policing / corrections policies? I’m not voting for them or anyone until I see those thank you very much. I do like the unrelated policies I do see on their site, but without those crucial policy areas addressed and in some detail I cannot put my vote their way
As a minor party, is it not ok for them to have policies in some areas that they will push for, and have no policies in others where they will go with what the coalition government is proposing?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, and I have no idea about those things with TOP, but I’m just proposing the question because I feel like you may have an interesting answer 🙂
That’d be fine depending on who they go into coalition with - and if tha’s what they intend to do, they should say as much on their site.
That said, its an important policy area not just to me but to a lot of the public (second most important issue in surveys of late if I recall rightly) and I think it would be in their own interests to commit to a policy direction so that people know what they are voting for

That’s a pretty solid stance, and makes sense. But to be honest I was hoping for a bit more of an exciting policy nerd answer 😛
