Time is a precious thing and of course not everyone is going to be a conservative voter. So for the benefit of all readers here is a checklist of key principles and policies. You might like to check the boxes provided as you go and score your "conservative total" at the bottom.
| AGREE | DISAGREE | NOT SURE | ||
| Traditions and heritage are of real value. Change to alliances, laws and society should only be done after careful consideration and with the support of the people. |
|
|
|
|
| Thrift is a necessary characteristic of good government. Government should carefully use resources and in tough times will cut spending in preference to raising new taxes or increasing borrowing. The normal state of affairs should be a balanced budget. |
|
|
|
|
| Democracy is a foundational principle of a fair and decent society. Government should only proceed with changes to legislation that has general support of the people. |
|
|
|
|
| Community and family are the backbone of a fair and decent society. Government should support communities and families. |
|
|
|
|
| Long Term Thinking is essential. The decisions that we take and the things that we do become the inheritance of the next generation. It is important to look at the long term consequences of our actions so that we leave the land a better place than we found it. |
|
|
|
|
| That Citizens Initiated referendum should be binding if 67% or more of votes cast favour the proposal. |
|
|
|
|
| That the Marine and Coastal Act be repealed and the foreshore and seabed returned to crown ownership. |
|
|
|
|
| That the 2014 election referendum should include the following questions : | ||||
| > Should the number of members of parliament be reduced to 99 |
|
|
|
|
| > Should New Zealand return to a single voter roll for all New Zealanders |
|
|
|
|
| > Should New Zealand adopt a 4 year parliamentary Term |
|
|
|
|
| That the Emissions Trading Scheme be repealed and the carbon tax on electricity and fuel cancelled. |
|
|
|
|
| That the sale of State Assets does not proceed |
|
|
|
|
| That New Zealand actively pursue economic policy that encourages farming (as the foundational business of our economy) and new entrepreneurial businesses (as future wealth generators and employers) |
|
|
|
|
| Tougher sentences for violent criminals along with a requirement that they work and learn while imprisoned. In sentencing 'life' imprisonment shall actually mean life imprisonment |
|
|
|
|
| Early and significant action in cases of minor crime including restoration activity with a follow up program. |
|
|
|
|
| That the ban on smacking be removed with a return to parents being able to use reasonable force in correcting their children. |
|
|
|
|
| That the legal drinking age be raised to 21 years of age. |
|
|
|
|
| Welfare reform so that there is no pay without work and incentives are toward working and couples staying together. |
|
|
|
|
| That a royal commission investigate family breakdown and the growing child abuse problem and provide recommendations on what can be done to improve family life, stability and child welfare. |
|
|
|
|
| YOUR CONSERVATIVE TOTAL | 0/19 | If you score 10+ we need your support. | ||
Colin Craig - Party Leader
Colin Craig is a father, husband, respected friend, and multi-millionaire businessman. The eldest of five children, Colin was brought up frugally on one school teacher’s salary, and it wasn't long before his entrepreneurial talents emerged in the form of innovative businesses. Colin graduated University with Bachelor’s degrees in Commerce and Arts, as well as completing Masters level education in economics and business.
His working life began while volunteering for a building services company, where he was quickly promoted from IT helper to financial controller. At the age of 26 Colin started running his own accountancy practice with his wife Helen. Craig and Craig Accountancy grew quickly, and took up most of Colin’s time, until (as a result of a series of coincidences) he started Centurion Management Services. Colin ran these two businesses simultaneously and subsequently founded three further service industry businesses which he still runs today.
Centurion Management has grown from being a 'one man band' to a large employer. The company is now one of New Zealanders largest property management firms with a property portfolio worth over a billion dollars.
With a strong sense of justice, and a desire to see his country succeed, it was no surprise that Colin became involved in politics, firstly with local business issues, then with Leaky Homes. In 2009, shocked at the Government’s refusal to be dictated by the Citizens Initiated referenda supported by over 87% of voters, he organised and funded the March for Democracy, seeking to ensure our democratically elected Government act democratically.
In 2010, Colin became involved with the Auckland Super City merger: running polls, making public comment, and subsequently achieving third place in the Mayoral election.
At the end of last year Colin launched The New Zealand Conservative Party which, after a four week campaign, gained a very credible 2.7% of the party vote. Over 87,000 New Zealanders gave the Conservatives at least one of their votes.
Never being one to wait for someone else to do something worth doing, Colin subscribes to the philosophy that leadership is action, not position. "If someone is a leader, they are out there serving other people" he says. According to Colin, true leaders are not the people sitting around talking about it, or the people waving around a badge: "Leaders are the people doing the hard yards, putting other people needs above their own."

Honesty, Safety, Prosperity, Family.
New Zealand is simply a wonderful country with an abundance of natural resources and places of outstanding beauty. We have great people who work hard and want to succeed but there is no question that we are under performing.
The time has come for a new initiative. In the last 2 decades both National and Labour governments have ignored the wishes of the New Zealand people by refusing to implement referendum decisions. I don't want a country where the government sees itself above the people and is able to ignore them at their convenience. We need increased representation and less political agenda.
We are also opposed to the never ending cycle of increased taxation and bigger spending. With 3 tax increases (Emissions Trading Scheme, increased GST rates
and cancellation of ability to claim depreciation on buildings) by the current Government, there is an ever growing burden on the New Zealand tax payer.
Almost every business and household has reduced spending and debt in difficult financial times and the government should have done the same.
Surely we can remember the last time we spent and borrowed big (also a National government) and we ended up selling off our assets to foreign interests. If
we don't do something now the same thing is going to happen all over again. It is time for some long term thinking. An approach to government that is honest
about the challenges ahead and willing to make some hard decisions for the benefit of everyone in New Zealand.
