New Political Party for New Zealand: Land and Money Reform

January 28th, 2008

Than you to Owen McCaffrey for this new political party for NZ focused on money and land reform. Recently born, it focuses on bringing in a land tax and money reform, issues that have been discussed widely on this blog.

Added to that is a citizens income, disestablishment of welfare, better infrastructure and importantly a compulsory health insurance.

It will be interesting to discuss these issues further. I may invite Owen to expand on them here. The name is a bit of a mouthful but that can be worked on.

It’s a very good start though.

    Hello,

    The latest addition to the party is a draft NZ Constitution 2008 which frames the rights and responsibilities of both people and parliament indefinately.

    This is sorely needed in NZ.
