Providing Stable Government

United Future is the stable party in government. It’s an underrated virtue and possibly best appreciated when it’s not there, but we believe that the people of New Zealand deserve the certainty of a permanent government and regular elections.

We’re a dependable group of people and you can trust us that once we’ve signed an agreement of supply and confidence with the government, we’ll stay true to our word until the next election. We did it in 2002 and 2005 and we’ll do it in 2008.

Within United Future, we believe that when New Zealanders have voted, they have the right to expect that their votes are decisive and will last for the full term.

It’s not that we’ll work with any party: our principle is that we’ll work with whatever party shares our goals and aspirations for New Zealand. And once we’ve agreed to work with a party, we do and we don’t back down or sidle away once the going gets tough.

That’s hard work. We don’t get attention for being stroppy and shouting. We do knuckle down and work to make meaningful differences in the lives of everyday kiwis. And everyday kiwis can have confidence knowing that bit by bit, the job is getting done. United Future makes that happen. We’re a constant brick of support.

It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s a good one.
