United Future

I agree that the UF recipe is what people are looking for in a true alternative to an ideological stance. NZers are looking for a positive difference in their politicians, and one that does not exclude people because of ideological or perceived ideological reasons.

Our challenge is to get the message across to people and, as a minimum, get onto people's radar screens. In discussions with people I find constantly a blank in their understanding as to what UF is all about. The time will come when we fill that blank. Lets hope it is soon.

That's certainly a clear set of good enough reasons for anyone to support United Future!

"But it is not all that clear what the change is about"

This seems to be a common theme in a number of countries at the moment - people aren't sure what to think about John Key because of the lack of policy details. The same could be said of Barack Obama in the US (who should be streets ahead in the polls but is failing to consolidate his position) and David Cameron in the UK. Governments can change because of voter fatigue, or the three term syndrome, and not because of a distinctive vision for the country or distinctive policy changes.

United Future is certainly well placed to fill this vision vacuum!!!

United Future's politics of hope continues to be about empowering communities and strengthening families. National has something of a policy vacuum right now. They have said they won't change many of the Labour policies that NZers found popular. Fair enough. However, they seem to be having difficulty in saying what they stand for.
United Future has the centrist policy programme to fill the vacuum. A vision of a tolerant society where freedom , responsibility and enterprise are rewarded. A NZ where everyone regardless of income gets a fair go and where kiwi commonsense is not captured by ideological extremes.

I think now is a fantastic time to be involved with UnitedFuture !! We've done so much already, but I can see us moving from strength to strength !!

Whilst i am new politics, as this is the first year i can vote, it is obvious that New Zealand is backing a change at the next elections, as people have been previously stating. It is after investigating policies of severla key parties i can understand that the only senesible choice is United Future, who in my mind is one of the only parites in New Zealand representing that crucial step forward

That's great Simon, and welcome aboard for the ride.
