Free Palestine on Democracy & Government

Contest elections and build democratic movement for Palestinian justice

This party wants to win seats in Parliament to push New Zealand to take a stronger stand on Palestine. They also want to build a broad movement of supporters across New Zealand. They believe New Zealand should follow international law more closely and have a more independent foreign policy, including stepping back from security alliances with the United States.

What they say they'll do

  • Build a broad, democratic party uniting supporters of Palestine from all traditions
  • Pressure the New Zealand government to support prosecution of war crimes and uphold UN resolutions
  • Advocate for a single, bi-national, secular and democratic state in Palestine with full and equal citizenship for all
  • Push New Zealand to withdraw from formal security alliances with the US and pursue an independent foreign policy
  • Build global solidarity links with those resisting inequality and injustice around the world

Who this affects

New Zealand voters
The party would use parliamentary pressure to push the NZ government to change its foreign policy positions on Palestine and US-led security alliances.
Palestinian refugees
The party's founding principles include supporting the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland.
New Zealand residents eligible to vote
The party is recruiting members who are enrolled NZ electors to reach the 500 members needed for Electoral Commission registration.

In their own words

“We aim to change public opinion and put sustained parliamentary pressure on the New Zealand government to uphold its obligations under international law with respect to Palestine.”
“Justice requires the establishment of a single state in Palestine, bi-national, secular and democratic, with full and equal citizenship for all with ethnic and religious rights protected in a democratic constitution.”
“That New Zealand commit to an independent foreign policy by withdrawing itself from any formal security alliances with the U.S. and by distancing our foreign policy from the orbit of Anglo-U.S. economic hegemony and military interventionism.”
