We understand clearly that the only reason for our existence is to represent the voice of the people in our parliament. We believe that any party that is not constantly in touch with the views of the people is simply not doing its job. In this space you can read what others think on key issues, and you can let us know your views.Should election campaign promises be independently costed?

It is worth smaller parties supplying their information too, just look at United Future's track record on delivering on its promises. It would be up to the parties to supply the information.

Not so sure about smaller parties or those with no chance of being in government - is it worth costing policies that won't have any chance of getting anywhere?
