The Alliance is about putting people first.
The Alliance is a New Zealand registered political party that has contested every general election since 1993.
The Alliance is a broad inclusive party of the Left with policies based on democratic socialist principles: democracy, equality and social ownership.
It combines a concern for the protection of the environment with the need to create a democratic economy and a modern welfare state.
We believe that the biggest impediment to a just and equal society is an unrestrained, free market capitalist system dominated by powerful multinational corporations.
If poverty, war and environmental destruction is to end, then we must regain democratic control of our society. That is why the Alliance is a democratic socialist party.
What the Alliance wants for New Zealand
Job security and full employment
Hundreds of thousands of Kiwis are struggling with casual, insecure jobs. The Alliance will protect workers in low paid jobs, defend workers’ rights and increase the minimum wage.
Public control of our electricity
Electricity should be owned by the people under community control and integrated planning - we’ll take it back off the greedy corporates and give our families and old people affordable power.
Quality public health care
People are dying on waiting lists. The Alliance will properly fund public health and throw out user pays and means testing.
Free education: drop the debt!
The Alliance stands for free education for all. Student loans are out of control at $9.5 billion. Let’s drop the debt and give young people a good start in life.
Good housing
The Alliance supports low-interest, no deposit loans for low income people to buy their own homes.
Protecting our environment
The Alliance will protect our environment from the problems caused by greed driven economic policies.
Real Democracy
The Alliance says that New Zealanders have a right to make the decisions about their lives and their communities.

Question
Alliance's Reply
The Alliance supports MMP. However we would like to see the threshold significantly lower than 5%. It is difficult for smaller parties and new parties to build support because people feel they are wasting their vote if it doesn't look like they will gain 5%. If parliament is to be truly representative of all New Zealanders it is important that a wide range of views are represented in the house.
