Free Palestine on Democracy & Government

Contest elections and build democratic movement for Palestinian justice

This party wants to win seats in Parliament to push New Zealand to take a stronger stand on Palestine. They also want to build a broad movement of supporters across New Zealand. They believe New Zealand should follow international law more closely and have a more independent foreign policy, including stepping back from security alliances with the United States.

What they say they'll do

  • Contest parliamentary elections as an independent party to win seats
  • Pressure the New Zealand government to uphold its obligations under international law
  • Support prosecution of war crimes and genocide and uphold UN resolutions
  • Build a broad democratic party open to supporters from all traditions
  • Push New Zealand to withdraw from formal security alliances with the US
  • Build international solidarity links with those resisting inequality and injustice

Who this affects

Eligible voters and potential party members
People who are enrolled New Zealand electors can join the party as financial members, which counts toward the 500 members needed to register with the Electoral Commission.
General public
The party says it will use parliamentary pressure and public campaigning to try to shift New Zealand government policy on international law and foreign alliances.

In their own words

“The Palestine Free from the River to the Sea Party is committed to contesting parliamentary elections as an independent party and building a mass democratic movement for justice in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.”
“That New Zealand commit to an independent foreign policy by withdrawing itself from any formal security alliances with the U.S. and by distancing our foreign policy from the orbit of Anglo-U.S. economic hegemony and military interventionism.”
“Build a broad, democratic party that unites supporters of Palestine from all traditions, allowing different ideas and perspectives to be discussed in an environment of tolerance and respect.”
