Alliance on Democracy & Government

The Alliance says local communities should control their own services like water and public transport. They want the public service to go back to giving honest advice instead of acting like a business. They also say Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a core constitutional document and want a written constitution designed by the people of Aotearoa New Zealand. They support lowering the threshold for entering parliament and letting voters remove elected officials who fail them.

• Return the public service to a public good-centred model, with in-house expertise rather than expensive consultancies
• Have public service leadership chosen from the ranks based on technical know-how and merit rather than business acumen
• Ensure local communities own and control services such as water, waste disposal, and public transport
• Treat Te Tiriti o Waitangi as a core constitutional document and safeguard Māori customary rights
• Promote Māoritanga and Te Reo Māori as the first culture and language of Aotearoa New Zealand
• Advance a written constitution designed by the people through participatory democracy, with Te Tiriti o Waitangi at its centre
• Lower the threshold for entering parliament and establish processes for the recall of elected candidates by their electors
• Stand for democracy, peace, and justice in global affairs and deepen ties with Pacific neighbours
