Why we exist
Most New Zealanders stand near the centre: pragmatic, fair-minded, and tired of division. The Purple Party brings that centre together — blending the strengths of blue and red into steady, practical government.
- National’s discipline, enterprise, and focus on performance.
- Labour’s commitment to fairness, community, and opportunity.
From these shared values, a stronger, steadier path emerges.
Our core beliefs
- Practical over ideological — decisions grounded in evidence and outcomes, not slogans.
- Fiscal responsibility with social purpose — balanced books and strong public services reinforce each other.
- Collaboration over confrontation — progress requires respect, dialogue, and the national interest at the centre.
- Long-term vision — stability for the next generation, not accumulating problems or debt.
What we stand for
- Health and education that deliver: funding tied to measurable results, not bureaucracy.
- A balanced economy: supporting small business, innovation, and fair wages.
- Housing and infrastructure: built for future generations, not political cycles.
- Climate action that endures: steady, technology-driven, and economically responsible.
- A social compact: security for those who need it, incentives for those who can contribute.
- Te Tiriti and Māori development: partnership grounded in respect and practical outcomes — wellbeing, education, regional growth.
- Foreign policy: independent, principled, and cooperative — calm engagement over partisanship.
- Transparent performance: clear public reporting and accountability across services and spend.
