NZ Outdoors & Freedom on Democracy & Government

Direct Democracy to give people ultimate say over government

This party says New Zealand's political system has a dangerous flaw — that people's rights were trampled by top-down government decisions. Their main policy is called Direct Democracy, which they say would give everyday New Zealanders the ultimate say over their own lives, communities, and future, rather than having decisions made for them by politicians.

What they say they'll do

  • Make Direct Democracy the party's central policy
  • Give New Zealanders the ultimate say over their lives, communities, and future
  • Challenge what the party calls top-down government overreach
  • Rebrand the party to 'Freedom' to sharpen their message

Who this affects

All New Zealanders
The party says Direct Democracy would give ordinary people a direct say in decisions rather than having those decisions made by government on their behalf.

In their own words

“The last five years exposed a dangerous flaw in New Zealand's political system. We watched in real-time as our fundamental human rights were trampled on.”
“We have bought forward one of our policies to become the pillar policy - Direct Democracy”
“ensuring that the people of New Zealand have the ultimate say over their lives, their communities, and their future.”
